Another full day of red-hot Razz action inside the Horseshoe Convention Center saw 97 returning players dwindle to a final table of nine with just minutes to go before Day 2 concluded.
By the time bags were being handed out, it was Allan Le who emerged as the overall chip leader with 2,350,000. A single big bet behind him is Clinton Wolcyn (2,270,000), who was the only other player to end over the two-million chip mark. Sitting a more distant third is none other than Shaun Deeb, who is inarguably the most accomplished player remaining with six WSOP bracelets to his name, a WSOP Player of the Year title, and over $13 million in reported live tournament earnings.

Le is one of the three prominent poker-playing brothers (alongside Nam Le and Tommy Le) and has one WSOP bracelet to his name from a $1,500 Mixed Omaha event in 2016. Interestingly, Le has never cashed in a WSOP Razz event and now finds himself in pole position to add a Razz bracelet to his poker resume.
The final nine competitors will return on Sunday, June 15 at 1 p.m. local time and play down to a winner. Each of the remaining players has already locked up a guaranteed payday of $8,877, but the ultimate goal lies in the $126,363 first-place prize, which represents the lion's share of the $626,580 prize pool.
Remaining Payouts

Day 2 Highlights
The returning 97 players found themselves just 26 spots off of the money, but several notables hit the rail before they could secure a cash. Among those to fall early were Phil Hellmuth, Yuval Bronshtein, Ryan Hoenig, Jeff Lisandro, and old school legend Huck Seed — who was eliminated on the stone bubble after getting all in on third street and ending with a jack-low against Andrew Hasdal, who made a ten-low.
It was Razzmagedon following the bubble, with several notables busting out just inside the money for a cash of $3,049, including Matt Vengrin, Calvin Anderson, Ryutaro Suzuki, Eugene Katchalov, and Lawrence Brandt.
Prominent tournament director Matt Savage entered Day 2 as one of the big stacks, but ran into turbulence about half way through the day to end up as one of the short stacks. Savage ultimately busted out in 25th place ($4,063) after catching two pair against Jim Collopy.
The eventual chip leaders began to emerge around this time, with Deeb turning up the aggression to take down several pots, while Le benefitted big after getting big value from Benjamin Goldstein late in the day.
More notables to bust out with a few tables remaining include Todd Brunson (19th - $4,760) Johannes Becker (16th - $4,760), and Scott Abrams (13th - $5,718).
Deeb claimed the final elimination of the night after outdrawing Martin Knorr to make an eight against Knorr's nine. Knorr was drawing live on seventh, but bricked out to be eliminated one spot shy of the final table.
Following Knorr's elimination, the final nine players were dealt just a few more hands before Day 2 came to an end. Tomorrow they play out the final table to determine the newest Razz champion, so be sure to stick with PokerNews for continuing coverage until just one player is left and holding the gold!
