The USA have added another title to their long list of sporting and recreational successes with the news that Greg ‘Fossilman’ Raymer led Team USA to victory in the fourth PokerStars.com World Cup of Poker at the Casino Barcelona in Spain.

Raymer, the former patent attorney who picked up million for winning the 2004 World Series of Poker, was the star player of the five-man US team that also included John Kenlan, Randy Principe, Shaun Deeb and team captain Tyler Netter.

It was Deeb who closed the deal for the Americans when he busted out Cristian Tardea of Team Romania in the final heat.
