While four $25K Fantasy players returned on Monday for Day 2 of Event #20: $300 Gladiators of Poker, none of them managed to go deep enough to hit the field bonus.

For Day 15 of the 2024 WSOP, Event #26: $25,000 High Roller NLH will see 19 players return for Day 3 action including seven $25K Fantasy players including chip leader Yingui Li (Team Lady Gaga). Others include Shaun Deeb (Team Lady Gaga), Samuel Laskowitz (Team Baker), Nick Schulman (Team Negreanu), Dario Sammartino (Team Girl Dads), Dan Smith (Team Kalas), and Philip Sternheimer (Team Kalas).

Just 10 players remain in Event #25: $3,000 6-Handed Limit Hold’em, though none of them are $25K Fantasy players.

On the flip side, there are plenty of $25K Fantasy players remaining in Event #26: $25,000 High Roller. Approximately 100 players will return to action including the two big stacks Sam Laskowitz (Team Baker) and Chino Rheem (Team Negreanu). Others still in contention include Dario Sammartino (Team Girl Dads), Phil Ivey (Team Sepiol), and Jesse Lonis (Team Girl Dads), among 25 others.
