Ma led on fourth and was called. Andrzejewski led on fifth and sixth and was called.

A player completed with a 3x, self-proclaimed "Razz God" Rami Hammoud raised showing a 4x, and his opponent called.
Rami Hammoud: 8xAx / 4x2x3x5x / Qx
Opponent: XxXx / 3x5x6x10x / Xx
Hammoud check-called on fourth and fifth, and the action checked through on sixth.
Hammoud led with a bet on seventh and was called. He proudly revealed his wheel as he collected a sizeable pot.
A tablemate declared, "There is a razz god in this tournament, but it ain't you."
If this hand can be used as evidence, then Hammoud is indeed a Razz God.
Michael Jordan. Tom Brady. Tiger Woods. Serena Williams. Phil Ivey. What do these five superstars have in common? They're all widely considered the best to have ever done it in their respective sports.
On Thursday, Ivey captured his 11th World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet when he took down Event #29: $10,000 Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw Championship (6-Handed). That puts him alone in second place behind the 17 bracelets Phil Hellmuth holds.
PokerNews asked some players at the WSOP why they think Ivey is the G.O.A.T., and we received some interesting answers from some of the best in the game.
