Daniel Negreanu Brings Back $25k Fantasy Draft for WSOP 2022


Daniel Negreanu has confirmed that the $25k Fantasy Draft competition will return for the World Series of Poker 2022. The event, which hasn't run since 2019 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, will take place on May 30.

The $25k Fantasy Draft was started by Daniel Negreanu in 2011. The event costs $25,000 to enter and team bosses get $200 to create an eight-person team by bidding for top players in an auction. The number of teams in the last decade has ranged from 8 to 15.

Ryan Riess, the former WSOP Main Event Champion, took down the most recent edition of the $25k Fantasy Draft for $150,000. Daniel Negreanu might even bid for himself in the $25k Fantasy Draft, adding an extra layer of excitement to the event.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
