The World Series of Poker (WSOP) is just days away, and professional poker players are already forming teams for a high-stakes fantasy draft. Organized by Daniel Negreanu and Erik Lindgren, the draft features a $25,000 buy-in and a prize pool of $375,000. The draft included 15 teams, with a prize pool of $375,000.

Phil Ivey was the most expensive player, bought by Barry Greenstein for 108 units. Daniel Negreanu was bought by Frank Cassella for 89 units. Daniel Alaei was bought by Robert Mizrachi for 80 units.

The draft took place in a special room at the Aria casino, with representatives from each team participating. The event was highly anticipated, with many top players and teams involved. The fantasy draft adds an exciting layer to the already thrilling WSOP, as teams strategize and compete for the top prize.

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.
