Matt Savage, Yuri Dzivielevski Chase Calvin Anderson on Day 2 of $1,500 Razz
The money bubble awaits the 123 surviving players today on Day 2 of Event #73: $1,500 Razz at the World Series of Poker.
Matt Savage is usually on the other side of the felt in his role as a renowned tournament director, but the Poker Hall of Fame nominee does have eight career WSOP cashes and a final table on his resume. He’ll look to add to that today as he carries a top-10 stack of 175,000 into Day 2.
He and the rest of the field are looking up at Calvin Anderson. Anderson, already with a Razz bracelet to his credit, begins the day with 336,000, 50,000 more than second-place Nicolas Milgrom (283,500). The top-five is rounded out by Vincent Griboski (223,000), Daniel Tafur (202,500), and Argentininan bracelet winner Andres Korn (196,000).
Daniel Strelitz (177,000), Yuri Dzivielevski (160,000), and 2022 bracelet winner Patrick Leonard (82,000) also begin the day with a healthy stack, while the likes of Joao Vieira (56,000), Todd Brunson (39,000), and David “ODB” Baker (27,000) have their work cut out for them if they hope to make the money.
