Event #62: $10,000 Razz Championship
Day 1 Started
Welcome to PokerNews' Day 1 coverage of Event #62: $10,000 Razz Championship
Starting in 2014, the World Series of Poker introduced the $10,000 Razz Championship and the winners over the years have been some of poker's best. Last summer, Calvin Anderson bested a field of 119 players to win his second WSOP bracelet.
For this year's event, players begin with 60,000 in chips and the limits begin at 500-1,000 with a 100 ante and 200 bring-in. There will be 10 levels played on Day 1 and registration remains open until the beginning of Day 2, so prize pool information won't be available until then.
