Seiver Leads; Several Bracelet Winners in the Hunt in Event 40: $1,500 Razz
Welcome to the third and final day of Event #40: $1,500 Razz here at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. Scott Seiver is leading the remaining 14 players and seems to be at the top of his game. Seiver already won a bracelet this year in Event #10: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship. The returning players are guaranteed $6,465 but will be focused on the top prize of $141,374.
Seiver's journey will not be easy however. A number of accomplished mixed game pros also return for Day 3, including bracelet winners Ben Yu, Brandon Shack-Harris, Maxx Coleman, Justin Liberto, and Jason Gola.
