Fantasy Drafts 2016: Key Events and Outcomes from WSOP


The 2016 World Series of Poker (WSOP) fantasy drafts concluded with a mix of surprises and notable performances. Daniel Negreanu, known for organizing these drafts, saw his team fail to qualify for the money. Despite this, Negreanu is expected to continue organizing similar events in the future.

Sergey 'Gipsy' Rybachenko's team, which had previously performed well, finished last in the fantasy draft organized by Daniel Negreanu. This was a significant drop from their previous performances, where they had secured first and second places in 2014 and 2015, respectively.

Calvin Anderson's team, with Mikhail Semen as a consultant, finished third in the fantasy draft. Despite having a strong lineup, including players like Alexey Makarov, Vyacheslav Zhukov, Ilya Krupin, and Benny Glazer, they were unable to secure the top prize. The team's performance was hampered by unexpected results from key players, including Calvin Anderson himself, who finished second in the Mini One Drop.

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.
