$25K Fantasy Sweats for First Saturday of the 2024 WSOP
The first Saturday of the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) will offer some $25K Fantasy implications starting with the finale of Event #6: $25,000 Heads-Up NLH Championship. The 64-player bracket is down to the final four, and Artur Martirosian of Team Lang is still alive. Just how many points he’ll earn for his team will be determined this afternoon. No other $25K Fantasy players cashed the tournament.
There will also be some major points earned in Event #7: $1,500 Dealer’s Choice (6-Handed), which started with 530 entrants but is now down to the final 10. A pair of $25K Fantasy players are still in contention in John Hennigan (Team AJ’s Eagles) and Shaun Deeb (Team Lady Gaga).
In that tournament, Jeff Madsen finished in 12th place to earn points for Team AJ’s Eagles, while some other players to cash were Jerry Wong (30th place – Team The Dinkers), Chino Rheem (34th place – Team Negreanu), AJ Kelsall (38th place – Team Livingston), Taylor Paur (47th place – Team Noori), Daniel Weinman (55th place – Team Lucky), Julien Martini (56th place – Team Girl Dads), Yingui Li (60th place – Team Lady Gaga), Yueqi Zhu (78th place – Team Kalas), and Dustin Dirksen (80th – Team Girls Dads).
