Four players called a completion, but it would be only Daniel Negreanu calling a bet on fourth as Sergey Rybachenko and Matt Glantz folded before Negreanu bet out on fifth and sixth streets before his opponent folded.

Negreanu: (X-X) /

WSOP bracelet winner Naoya Kihara has just taken a seat on a table that includes Billy Baxter, Brian Townsend, David "ODB" Baker, Mike Matusow and Richard Ashby.
The $10,000 Seven-Card Razz Championship here at the 2014 World Series of Poker marks the biggest buy-in razz tournament ever held, and the field represents some real poker greats as a top, but select, field of competitors has come out. Going back to 2000 prior to this year's WSOP, only one razz event has been held per year.
This year there is both a $1,500 razz tournament and this $10,000 one on the schedule.
While razz is often classified as a "boring" game by many, this field is certainly far from that. With players like the living legends Doyle Brunson and Billy Baxter, juggernaut Phil Ivey, superstar Daniel Negreanu, and two-time bracelet winner Jason Mercier, this field is far from boring. In the past, some very prominent poker players have won razz bracelets, and that can very much be expected this year with such a packed field due to the high buy-in.
Here's a look at all the WSOP razz champions dating back to the turn of the millennium:

Less than a week ago, Ted Forrest scooped up the $1,500 Seven-Card Razz title from this WSOP, defeating Phil Hellmuth in the process. By winning, Forrest joined the likes of Huck Seed, Gary “Bones” Berland, and Mike Hart as two-time razz bracelet winners. Hellmuth already has one razz bracelet and could join that club, but he'll have to wait for now as he still remains in the $3,000 Six-Handed No-Limit Hold'em across the room. Forrest is in the field already.
