Yu Enters

[user80015]

Level 6 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

Ben Yu unofficially becomes the 101st player to enter the tournament.

With 32 minutes remaining in this level, we are still expecting previous Razz bracelet winners such as Phil Hellmuth and Huck Seed to make a late appearance - or for Hellmuth, at least have a stack entered while he competes in Event #15: $3,000 Six-Handed No Limit Hold'em.

Following a completion, Sergey Rybachenko raised and Daniel Negreanu three-bet. The completer called, as did Rybachenko before Negreanu bet fourth street and only Rybachenko called. Negreanu led on fifth and Rybachenko called before the Russian bet out 1,200 on sixth before checking seventh after Negreanu called.
