![[user139916]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
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.
