A total of nine events are running on Day 14 of the World Series of Poker, with four bracelets set to be awarded, all featuring 25K Fantasy draftees who are still in contention. Here’s your Day 14 Fantasy Sweat update.

Event #26: $25,000 High Roller 8-Handed

Coming into the final day, only 18 players remain—four of them 25K Fantasy draftees. All remaining players have secured 13 points, with a victory worth 128 points.

Leading the fantasy contenders in the chip counts is Andrew Ostapchenko (Team Liaison), who enters the day third overall. Punnat Punsri (Team BTG) sits sixth, Joao Simao (Team Negreanu) is ninth, and Jim Collopy (Team Noori) comes in 17th.

Event #27: $1,500 Big O

The final day of the Big O tournament kicks off at 1 p.m. local time with just 17 players still in contention for the gold bracelet—four of them representing 25K Fantasy teams. Nicolas Milgrom (Team DPMD) enters second in chips, while Ryan Hoenig (Team Lang), fresh off his victory in the $10K Dealer’s Choice, sits fifth. Lawrence Brandt (Handsome Horses) comes in ninth, and Owais Ahmed (Team BTG) rounds out the fantasy contenders in 13th.

The player have all locked up 19 points, and would receive 89 with a victory today.

Event #19: $500 COLOSSUS

A massive field of over 16,000 entries is now down to its final 103 players, with two 25K Fantasy draftees still in contention. Matt Glantz (Team Hoggers) and Ryan Leng (Team Frog Poison) have both secured 1 point so far. However, if they can reach the top 81, they’ll earn a 100-point field size bonus. And should either of them go the distance and win it all, they’d bank a total of 150 points for their team.

This event is scheduled to play down to a winner today as well.

Event #28: $600 Mixed No-Limit Hold'em; Pot-Limit Omaha Deepstack

The final event scheduled to conclude today is the $600 NLH/PLO Mixed Deepstack, which drew a sizable field of 2,775 entries and is now down to just 115 players. Seven of those remaining are 25K Fantasy draftees.

Each have secured one point so far, but a finish inside the top 36 would earn an additional 25 points. A victory in the event would be worth a total of 77 points for their team.

Players in the mix include Kane Kalas Team (AJ's Eagles), Noah Bronstein (Team Noori), Tyler Brown (Team Negreanu), Calvin Anderson (Team Money Mondays), Ari Engel (Team Lang), Jesse Lonis (Team Girl Dad’s), and Ben Yu (Team Survivor Sweat).

It's Day 10 of the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) and the 25K Fantasy hangs in the balance as Benny Glaser goes for his second bracelet of the summer in Event #15: $1,500 Mixed: Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better with three players remaining.

A Glaser victory would be welcomed news to Team Dinkers, which currently sits seventh in the race thanks to Glaser and Viktor Blom. Team Girl Dads, meanwhile, sits comfortably in first place with 242 after deep runs from Patrick Leonard, Christian Roberts and David Funkhouser.

Here's a look at some of the other sweats heading into Day 10 of the WSOP.

2011 WSOP Player of the Year Ben Lamb is off to a strong start that could bring him his third bracelet. Lamb sits first of five in Event #14: $25,000 High Roller PLO/NLH Mixed, which went to an unscheduled third day of play today.

The Team Money Mondays Podcast drafted Lamb and already has 22 points on the board.
