Day 2 play has ended in Event #33: $10,000 Razz Championship at the 2023 World Series of Poker. 21 late registrants joined the 54 survivors from Day 1, but only 13 advanced to the final day. 123 total players entered the event, which created a prize pool of $1,143,900 and a winner's prize of $298,682.
Nineteen places would be paid, with the minimum payout coming in at $16,264. Notable players busting prior to the money bubble included Daniel Negreanu, Brian Yoon, Shaun Deeb, Dutch Boyd, and Brian Rast.

Sitting atop the chip counts is Talal Shakerchi. The British hedge fund manager bagged 1,104,000 to enter Day 3 atop the leaderboard. Despite over a million dollars in WSOP cashes prior to this year, this year's event marks his first time cashing in a WSOP razz event. Narrowly trailing Shakerchi is Carlos Chadha with 1,052,000. Chadha, who finished 12th in 2021's event, will be looking to improve upon his performance from two years ago and obtain his first bracelet.
Also in contention is Nick Schulman, who bagged 337,000. Schulman has already won a bracelet this year in Event #9: $1,500 Seven Card Stud and enters Day 3 looking to add a second bracelet of the summer and his fifth total. Brad Ruben, who has a bracelet in razz from winning the $1,500 event in 2021, bagged 532,000. Six-time bracelet winner John Hennigan also found a bag for Day 3, finishing the day with 346,000.
Those finishing in the money included Daniel Zack (19th - $16,264), James Obst (17th - $17,789), and David "Bakes" Baker (15th, $17,789).
Day 3 will start at 2:00 p.m. local time and will play down to a final table, with later coverage streamed on PokerGo. Level 18 will kick off the day with a 5,000 ante, 5,000 bring-in, and limits at 20,000-40,000. PokerNews will have full coverage of Day 3 until a champion is crowned.

Play has concluded for the day, as players are bagging their chips for Day 3.
A full recap of the day's play is soon to come.
Level 17
Carlos Chadha-Villamarin: XxXx/8x2x7x3x
John Hennigan: XxXx/7x4xAxAx/Xx
Talal Shakerchi: XxXx/10x5x folded on fourth street
Chadha-Villamarin completed, and Hennigan and Shakerchi both called.
Fourth street saw Chadha-Villamarin bet, and only Hennigan come along. Hennigan then called bets on fifth, sixth, and seventh streets.
Chadha-Villamarin turned over Qx9xAx to take down a big pot with eight-seven as play concluded for the day.
Level 17
Elior Sion: XxXx / 6x5x8x
Adam Owen: XxXx / 9x6x7x folded on fifth street
Elior Sion completed with a six and was called by fellow Brit Adam Owen. Sion bet his lead on fourth street to get a call and bet again fifth street, this time forcing a reluctant fold from Owen.
Level 17
Carlos Chadha-Villamarin: XxXx / 7x10x7x7x / Xx
Yuval Bronshtein: XxXx / 6xAx4x2x / Xx
Carlos Chadha-Villamarin checked behind on sixth street and joked "guess I am drawing dead" when he held trips sevens on his open board, while Yuval Bronshtein had a six-four draw. Bronshtein bet seventh for good measure and flashed the Jx3x while his opponent mucked a queen.
Level 17
Jerry Wong: XxXx / 4x2x8x
Roy Thung: XxXx / AxAxQx folded on fifth street
In the previous hand, table chip leader Carlos Chadha-Villamarin had completed with a four to then fold when Roy Thung raised with a trey from one seat over.
Thung was involved in a three-way pot with Jerry Wong and fellow short stack John Hennigan next and stuck around when Wong bet fourth street, while Hennigan folded. Wong bet again on fifth street and Thung snap-folded when picking up a queen.
Level 17
John Hennigan: XxXx / Ax8x6x2x / Xx
Jerry Wong: XxXx / Kx7xAx7x / Xx
John Hennigan completed with an eight and was called by Jerry Wong with a king as the bring-in. Hennigan's bet on fourth street was called before he check-called a bet by Wong on fifth street. Having regained the lead, Hennigan bet sixth street to earn a call from Wong and then moved all-in on seventh for fewer than a full bet.
Wong glanced at his cards once more and quickly folded.
