Butzhammer Leads Razz Championship Into Day 2
Welcome back to the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino and the 2014 World Series of Poker for Day 2 of Event #18: $10,000 Seven-Card Razz Championships!
Late Friday afternoon, 112 players took to the felt to partake in the biggest Razz buy-in tournament ever and also the second time since 1977 two Razz tournaments were run during the series.
Along the way Michael and Robert Mizrachi, Billy Baxter, Todd Brunson, Chris Tryba, Calvin Anderson, Josh Arieh, Shawn Buchanan, John Hennigan and Phil Ivey all were eliminated as just 74 players would reach the bag and tag phase.
Leading the field into today's battle is German Thomas Butzhammer who bagged an impressive 141,300 in chips to be just ahead of Todd Dakake (136,400) as the only two players in the six-figure club. Here is how the top ten chip stacks rank:
| Player | Chip Count |
|---|---|
| Thomas Butzhammer | 141,300 |
| Todd Dakake | 136,400 |
| Brian Hastings | 92,700 |
| Eric Rodawig | 81,700 |
| Bill Chen | 81,200 |
| Brent Keller | 77,600 |
| Mike Gorodinsky | 77,100 |
| Roland Israelashvili | 76,700 |
| Dan Shak | 74,100 |
| Brandon Cantu | 73,000 |
Bracelet winners Brandon Shack-Harris, Naoya Kihara, Daniel Negreanu, Jonathan Duhamel, Jason Mercier, David Bach, Scott Clements, Barry Greenstein and Jeff Lisandro are just a few of the big names still remaining in this highly stacked field.
The PokerNews Live Reporting Team will be providing extensive live coverage from 2:00 p.m. (PDT) as we look to play down to firstly the money, and then hopefully the final table.

Luneau Doubles
Nível 6
: 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Catching the action on fifth street we found Alexandre Luneau betting out with Jesse Martin calling. Luneau then bet sixth street before moving all in on seventh for his last 1,200 with Martin calling.
Luneau: (X-X) / 
/ (X)
Martin: (X-X) / 
/ (X)
Luneau tabled his 
for a perfect eight while Martin was forced to table his 
while conceding the pot to slip to 7,200 in chips.

"Hey PokerNews! Allen Kessler Tripled Up!"
Nível 6
: 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Over the years we've quoted many players during PokerNews live updates, but there haven't been many that made us laugh this much.
After Allen Kessler just managed to triple up, which happened right in front of our desk, none other than Doyle Brunson turned to us and yelled, "Hey PokerNews! Allen Kessler tripled up!"
The entire table started laughing, and it's safe to say we had a bit of a chuckle over it as well.
Kessler started the day with just a few thousand chips, and on the second hand of play he ended up all in for his tournament. Both Brunson and Christopher Wallace had called Kessler's all in and the hand was checked down to sixth street.
"PokerNews, I'm all in!" Kessler yelled.
"EPSN!" Elezra yelled, as he looked around the room for someone to capture Kessler's big moment, but to no avail.
With every card the dealer turned over Kessler's smile grew as his the strength of his hand grew. On sixth Brunson bet and that was enough to get Wallace to fold.
Kessler: (X-X) / 
/ (X)
Brunson: (X-X) / 
/ (X)
Wallace: (X-X) / 
/ fold
Kessler turned over the 
for his hole cards and he had a lock on this hand against Brunson's 
. Kessler raked in this very important pot, but he's not out of danger just yet.

Schneider Stacked
Nível 6
: 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Tom Schneider and his quest for a fifth WSOP bracelet - and his first in Razz - will have to wait another day as he was recently eliminated.
As our PokerNews reporter ventured over to the table as Schneider was leaving, Eric Rodawig was scooping the pot to move to roughly 90,000 in chips.

Kessler KO'd
Nível 6
: 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
After recently tripling up, Allen Kessler has now been eliminated at the hands of Eli Elezra.
Catching the action on sixth street, Kessler bet out 2,400 and Elezra called. On the river, Elezra dropped a stack of chips into the pot and Kessler committed his final 400.
Elezra tabled his 
for a nine-seven and although Kessler was drawing live, he bricked the river and was sent to the rail.
