Twelve Remain in Event #50: $10,000 Razz Championship
Today, 12 players return to the World Series of Poker, Event #50: $10,000 Razz Championship to compete for a chance at a WSOP bracelet at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. Play resumes at 1 p.m. in the Horseshoe Event Center and promises to thrill.
Leading the pack is Brandon Shack-Harris who’s fresh off a second-place finish in the $1,500 Razz event earlier this week with 1,550,000 in chips. Shack-Harris is already a two-time WSOP champion, and he’s been demonstrating why he’s not to be taken lightly this week. Next in chips, George Alexander from Florida has 1,178,000 after a day of clashing with legends Phil Ivey and Daniel Negreanu, both of whom are still in contention for this event. Close behind, Ren Lin holds 945,000 in chips. Meanwhile, Dzmitry Urbanovich finds himself fourth in chips with 815,000.
