Level 23 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Michael Rocco opened to 400,000 from the hijack with J♥8♠. Masashi Oya called from the small blind with 9♠9♦.

Rocco had a gutshot on the 10♠7♥2♠ flop, but of course, two nines were already accounted for. Oya check-called for 500,000, which brought in the 5♥ turn. Oya, Japan's All-Time Money winner, remained in the lead.

Action checked through to the 6♠ river, giving the checkmark to Oya.

Both players checked again and Oya took the 2,200,000 pot.

The $25K Fantasy league is off to a hot start with seven of the 19 teams over 100 points as of June 4. Most of those were thanks to a handful of draftees hitting field bonuses in Event #5: $1,000 Mystery Millions, which attracted 18,409 entrants and became the sixth-largest poker tournament of all time.

PokerNews has been tracking $25K Fantasy players in our live updates, and has even made it simple to follow the action by tagging all players with a $25K Fantasy badge. That allows you to utilize our chip count filter option to follow only those players (just tick the $25K Fantasy badge); what’s more, each blog will have a “$25K Fantasy” tab that if you click all you will see are hands played by $25K Fantasy players.

As a result, we can capture some of the biggest, best, and most game-changing hands involving the $25K Fantasy roster. Here are five from the first week of action in the 2024 WSOP.

Plenty of Raise and Takes; Rocco Jams on Schutten

Calum Grant

Level 22 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

The last orbit saw plenty of raise and takes preflop, but that changed when Brek Schutten and Michael Rocco tangled.

Schutten opened to 320,000 from under the gun before Rocco made it 725,000 on his immediate left. Action folded back to Schutten and he called.

Schutten checked on the 7♣5♣4♠ flop and snap-folded when Rocco moved all-in for Schutten's last 2,700,000.
