The 2014 World Series of Poker $10,000 buy-in razz event was the first of its kind. In the 45-year history of the summer series, razz has never been played with a buy-in higher than $5,000. Despite the tournament’s hefty price tag, a field of 112 still managed to find their seats, creating a total prize pool of $1,052,800.
With razz being served up on the table, the field was stacked with notable players and the final table certainly didn’t disappoint. After three days of play, it was Germany’s George Danzer who came out on top, besting a final table that included the likes of David Bach (8th), Naoya Kihara (7th), Brian Hastings (5th), Yuval Bronshtein (4th) and the red-hot Brandon Shack-Harris (2nd).
The 30-year-old poker pro earned his first career bracelet and the $294,792 first-place prize while becoming just the second non-American to win an event at this summer’s series.
“It’s everything,” Danzer said. “For ten years now, since I was 21, I always wanted to come to the World Series and be a world champion. I was always watching the news to see who won, and I wanted to be like them. I come over every year, and it’s my tenth year now. When you get close, you get a taste of it, and I came close a couple of times. I’m really, really happy now.”
Danzer spoiled what would have been the second bracelet of the summer for Shack-Harris, who won the $1,000 pot-limit Omaha event a little more than a week prior. Danzer himself was coming off of a fifth-place finish in the $10,000 buyin triple draw lowball event.
