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.
Catching the action on sixth street, we found Phil Ivey betting out 1,200 and Matthew Ashton calling. On seventh, Ashton checked and Ivey fired again with Ashton making the call.
Ivey: (X-X) / / (X)
Ashton: (X-X) / / (X)
Ivey tabled his for a seven-six low and Ashton mucked while slipping to 7,900. Ivey is now sitting amongst the top ten chip leaders.
The board currently reads 100 players, and with an hour remaining to late register, there is still an opportunity for players to jump in the biggest Razz tournament of all-time.
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.
Max Pescatori is the latest player to take his seat in the tournament, and if the tournament clock is right, we are just two more entrants away from reaching triple figures.
