Bach: (X-X) / / (X)
Hastings: (X-X) / / (X)
Hastings tabled his for a wheel to prompt a fold from Bach as Hastings climbed to 385,000 while Bach slipped to 400,000 in chips.
Roland Israelashvili completed and Yuval Bronshtein raised. Israelashvili called and then found himself all in for his last 12,000 on fourth street as both player's board ran out as follows:
Israelashvili: / /
Bronshtein: / /
With Israelashvili's jack-ten low no good against Bronshtein's nine-eight, Israelashvili headed to the rail in 11th place for a $24,572 payday.
Thomas Butzhammer completed and Naoya Kihara raised. David Bach called, as did Butzhammer before Kihara led fourth. Bach called, Butzhammer raised and both Kihara and Bach called.
Kihara bet fifth, all three players called, and on sixth Bach bet out 24,000 only to have Butzhammer raise all in for 27,000. Kihara re-raised to 48,000 before Bach put him all in for his last 62,000.
Butzhammer: /
Kihara: /
Bach: /
With Kihara in the lead, he drew the as Bach found the and Butzhammer found the to be eliminated in 12th place for a $24,572 payday.
Daniel Negreanu completed and both Brandon Shack-Harris and Todd Dakake made the call. The action checked to Negreanu on fourth and he bet 12,000 only to have Shack-Harris raise. Dakake folded, as did Negreanu, but not before he added, "I paired the seven so I'm done!"
"I'm ready to play some Razz!" announced Daniel Negreanu as the Tournament Director kicked things off.
The plan for the day is to combine to one table of nine for the unofficial final table and then eventually play down till there is just one man standing.
Welcome to PokerNews' Day 3 coverage of Event #18: $10,000 Seven-Card Razz Championship,
A total of 112 players participated in the largest buy-in for a Razz tournament in poker history and after two days and 15 levels, only 12 remain. First place is set at $294,792 and leading the way into Day 3 is David Bach with 565,000.
After a fourth-place finish in the $1,500 buy-in Razz event last week and a runner-up showing in last year's $2,500 Razz affair, Bach is looking to finally capture that elusive Razz victory and his second World Series of Poker bracelet. Second in chips is Event 3 winner Brandon Shack-Harris with 369,000 and he is followed by none other than Daniel Negreanu with 340,000. Negreanu is looking for redemption after his runner-up showing in Event 13 just days ago. The remaining field is also flush with poker skill, making this anyone's game.
