Es ist das Event, das einst Katja Thater für sich entscheiden konnte. Seven Card Razz zählt zu den Exoten unter den WSOP-Turnieren. Und trotz eines leichten Rückgangs im Vergleich zum vergangenen Jahr (363) war es mit 309 Spielern vergleichsweise gut besetzt.
$702.975 sind im Prizepool, der Sieger erhält $182.793 und 136 Spieler sind heute noch dabei, wenn die Jagd nach dem Razz-Bracelet fortgesetzt wird. Leider nicht an den Start ging Titelverteidiger Rep Porter. Seine Tochter hatte sich beim Ballett verletzt und Porter entschied sich lieber Zuhause zu bleiben.
Schon raus sind die drei Deutschen, Ismael Bojang, Andreas Krause und Thorsten Schuler. Beste Chance hat Chipleader Tommy Vedes.
Schon ausgeschieden sind Daniel Negreanu, Dan Shak, Richard Ashby, Annie Duke, Jason Mercier, Chris Tryba, Chris Bjorin, Huck Seed, Nacho Barbero und Phil Ivey.
Unter den Überlebenden: Jared Bleznick (13.600), Greg Raymer (18.300), Berry Johnston (21.400), Ted Forrest (25.600), Phil Hellmuth (31.500), Joe Tehan (39.500), Tom McEvoy (39.700) und Kami Chisholm (43.500).
