The 14th Annual Daniel Negreanu 25K Fantasy League set a record this year with 24 teams each ponying up $25,000 to create a $250,000 prize pool. The top five finishers will get paid, with the winning team taking home $250,000, the runner-up $125,000, and third place $100,000. Fourth and fifth will earn $75,000 and $50,000, respectively.
Each team drafted eight players, meaning the league is comprised of 192 players, not to mention 114 bonus players listed in ODB’s $500 sister league. Through Day 34 of the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) and 66 events having crowned winners, an astounding 27 of the gold bracelets have gone to players in either the 25K Fantasy or ODB leagues!

Fantasy Players Who’ve Won Bracelets This Summer
Benny Glaser has won three bracelets at the 2025 WSOP.
The first 25K Fantasy player to claim a bracelet was Artur Martirosian (Team Jeremy’s), who topped a capped 64-player field to win Event #7: $25,000 Heads-Up Championship for $500,000. Patrick Leonard (Team Girl Dads) and Chance Kornuth (Team NOVIG) also earned 75 and 45 points for finishing third and sixth, respectively.
Three of the bracelets have gone to Benny Glaser (Team Dinkers), who has amassed 256 fantasy points. Glaser first won Event #8: $1,500 Dealers Choice for 80 points and then took down Event #15: $1,500 Mixed PLO Hi-Lo 8 or Better for 87 points. Weeks later, in Event #56: $2,500 Mixed Triple Draw Lowball for 79 additional points. Toss in some smaller cashes, and Glaser currently sits as the fourth-highest points earned.
Dylan Linde
That’s because Dylan Linde sits on top. While he only has one win this summer – he took down Event #57: $50,000 PLO High Roller for 126 points – he ran deep in both Event #29: $2,500 NLH (4th place for 49 points) and Event #37: $1,500 Monster Stack (7th place for 119 points) to hit some valuable field bonuses.
Speaking of the Monster Stack, that tournament has thus far awarded the largest single point score of 174 thanks to Klemens Roiter (Team Liaison) winning that tournament for $1,204,457.
Klemens Roiter
As for ODB Bonus players, they account for three of the bracelets. Jason Daly denied Phil Hellmuth a bracelet in Event #47: $2,500 Mixed O8/Stud 8 for 80 points, and then Tyler Patterson won Event #49: $3,000 6-Handed NLH for 89 points. Most recently, Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi won the $50,000 Poker Players Championship for a record fourth time , good for 126 points.

How to Follow the Action
Remember, 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 either a 25K Fantasy or ODB badge. That allows you to utilize our chip count filter option to follow only those players (just tick the 25K Fantasy or ODB 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.
Be sure to follow the PokerNews Live Updates to see how all of these players perform today at the 2025 WSOP!
