Day 9 of the 2024 WSOP is about to shake up the $25K Fantasy standings!
Event #12: $1,500 6-Handed NLH has 17 players from a 2,526-entry field remaining, but none of them are $25K Fantasy players. The last remaining one had been Landon Tice (Team Wilson), who busted in 29th place for $17,858.
However, Event #13: $10,000 Dealer’s Choice Championship (6-Handed) does have a handful of $25K Fantasy players among the final 11 from the 141-player field. They include chip leader Robert Mizrachi (Team The Dinkers), Ben Lamb (Team The Dinkers), Phil Ivey (Team Sepiol), and Daniel Negreanu (Team DPMC). That tournament, which is scheduled to finish today, will award $333,045 to the winner.
Event #15: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better (8-Handed) attracted 1,277 runners and just under 200 will return for Day 2. Among the $25K Fantasy players still in contention include Yuval Bronshtein (Team Wilson), Christian Harder (Team TheCoffeeBreakers), Joao Simao (Team Sternheimer), Maksim Pisarenko (Team Baker), Tyler Brown (Team Livingston), Adam Friedman (Team Sepiol), and many more.
Similarly, Event #16: $5,000 8-Handed NLH had 660 entries but only 239 players will return for Day 2 including Bin Weng (Team Chingas), Adam Hendrix (Team Wilson), Samuel Laskowitz (Team Baker), and a couple dozen more.

The $25K Fantasy league is off to a hot start with seven of the 19 teams over 100 points as of Tuesday night.

Among those to hit the field bonus were Josh Reichard (21st place – 101 points), Adam Hendrix (32nd place – 101 points), Dong Chen (59th place – 101 points), John Riordan (88th place – 101 points), Chris Vitch (113th place – 101 points), Christian Harder (155th place – 101 points), and Ash Gupta (161st place – 101 points).
As of this writing, Team Oz (Gary Benson) is out on top with 245 points, while Team Sternheimer (Philip Sternheimer) sits in second with 199 points. From there it’s Team The Dinkers (179 points), Team Lady Gaga (168 points), Team Girl Dads (144 points), Team Wilson (118 points), and Team TheCoffeeBreakers (107 points) as the seven teams with 100+ points.
