Scott Seiver, who won his sixth-career bracelet and second this summer in the $1,500 Razz event a few days ago, comes into the day with 83,000, while Chad Eveslage (90,000), Calvin Anderson (74,500), defending champion Jerry Wong (69,000), Robert Mizrachi (45,500), and Brian Rast (31,000) are all seeking their own “Razz Rush” up the chip counts on Day 2.
The action on Day 2 picks up on Level 10 with limits of 3,000-6,000. Levels 10-13 will be 60 minutes long before being extended to 90 minutes on Level 14. There will be a 60-minute dinner break at the end of Level 14 around 7 p.m. Play is scheduled for eight levels today.
A total of 101 players have already registered for the event. Late registration remains open for the first hour of the day, so there is still plenty of opportunity for the field to approach last year’s total of 123.
