2025 WSOP Fantasy Draft with Joey Ingram & Christina Gollins | PokerNews Podcast #894
Table Of Contents
In the 894th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, is joined by Mike Holtz, Christina Gollins, and Joey Ingram to draft their favorite teams for the 2025 World Series of Poker.
Each of the four hosts can pick seven players and one alternate player who will score points throughout the 2025 WSOP. The hosts need to follow several rules, such as drafting at least one female poker player, and one poker vlogger/creator, as well as adding an alternate that they can swap in for any of their seven players.
The rules of this draft are simple:
WSOP Fantasy Draft Scoring
| Achievement | Points |
|---|---|
| Cashing an event | 1 point |
| Finishing in the top 2% | 2 points |
| Final tabling an event | 5 points |
| 2nd or 3rd place finish | 7 points |
| Bracelet win | 10 points |
Only live bracelets count for points.
Who are the 'blue chip', slam dunk, first-round pick players in this draft? And who is picked lower than they should? Find out in this episode what Chad, Mike, Christina, and Joey's favorite WSOP teams for the series are. This draft follows a very simple concept that can be recreated at home if you're interested in adding a little extra sweat during the series!
