Madsen, Moncek, & “ODB” Enter Day 2 of $1,500 Razz in Top Ten
Friday saw a record-setting 556 entries make their way into the Paris ballroom to make some low hands in the unique and evidently increasingly popular Event #24: $1,500 Razz at the 2023 World Series of Poker.
Of that field that blew away last year’s entry total by nearly 200 players, many notables found a bag, with 170 players coming back for Day 2 in the Gold section of the Horseshoe Event Center.
The top ten of the chip counts alone sees multi-time bracelet winners, Yuval Bronshtein, Jeff Madsen, Michael Moncek, and David "ODB" Baker on that list, while also still in with sizeable stacks are the likes of Hall of Famer Tom McEvoy, Calvin Anderson, and former WSOP Player of the Year Jeffrey Lisandro.
Day 2 Top Ten Chip Counts
| Rank | Player | Country | Chip Count | Day 2 Big Bets |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Maksim Pisarenko | Russia | 251,500 | 31 |
| 2 | Vasilis Lazarou | United States | 223,500 | 28 |
| 3 | Yuval Bronshtein | Israel | 207,000 | 26 |
| 4 | Takashi Ogura | Japan | 197,500 | 25 |
| 5 | Eoghan O'Dea | Ireland | 195,000 | 24 |
| 6 | Jeff Madsen | United States | 190,000 | 24 |
| 7 | Michael Moncek | United States | 187,000 | 23 |
| 7 | Alon Doitch | United States | 187,000 | 23 |
| 9 | Marcus Stein | United States | 186,000 | 23 |
| 10 | David "ODB" Baker | United States | 185,500 | 23 |
The remaining field returns at 1 p.m. local time to play into the money and toward the final table which will take place Sunday. Last year, out of a returning Day 2 field of 123 players, just nine remained at day’s end. With such a large field this year, it’s unlikely a final table will be reached Saturday, but they’ll be close, with the $152,991 first prize and a WSOP gold bracelet within reach.
Ten 60-minute levels are on the schedule for the day starting at limits of 4,000 / 8,000. Players will receive 15-minute breaks every two levels with a 60-minute dinner break scheduled after Level 21 at approximately 7:30 p.m.
PokerNews will be there every step of the way until a champion is crowned, so stay with us for all the action from this and every World Series of Poker bracelet event from Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
