WSOP Player of the Year Points Leader Dan Zack Among the Final 12 in the $10,000 Razz Championship
Welcome to Day 3 coverage of Event #62: $10,000 Razz Championship.
The starting field of 116 players is down to just 12, each looking to capture a coveted World Series of Poker gold bracelet, as well as the first-place prize of $301,421. Top of the chip counts entering Day 3 is six-time bracelet winner Chris Ferguson with 1,280,000, followed by three-time bracelet winner David Bach with 1,087,000.
In fact, 10 of the 12 remaining players in the field are bracelet winners, so the path to victory will be hard-earned. Defending champion Calvin Anderson is still in the mix, as is Daniel Negreanu and current WSOP Player of the Year points leader Dan Zack.
