Day 3: $1,500 Razz Phil Hellmuth Is Ready For #15
With the Main Event kicking off, Phil Hellmuth has a few other plans first. Today he enters Day 3 of the $1,500 Razz with 10 players left. He enters as the short stack, but it's anyone's tournament to win and Hellmuth already had two WSOP bracelets in razz, so he seems like as good a bet as any.
Leading the table is David "ODB" Baker, who is seeking his second WSOP gold bracelet. Three-time bracelet winner Benny Glaser is also in the final 10, and Day 3 of Event #69 is shaping up to be an exciting one.
The action resumes at 2 p.m. and, by the end of the day, either Hellmuth will have won his 15th bracelet or another player will add a WSOP gold bracelet to their resume.
Follow all the action on PokerNews throughout the day.
