Artur Martirosian & Patrick Leonard Will Battle for a Bracelet on Day 6
It's time for Day 6 of the World Series of Poker, and the 25K Fantasy is starting to heat up.
Team Girl Dads is currently in front with 86 points, propelled almost entirely from Christian Roberts' third-place finish in Event #3: $5,000 No-Limit Hold’em that brought 66 points, as well as Ethan "Rampage" Yau's 17th place in the same event that eaerned the team 14 points.
Other teams in the mix include Team Splash Sports (66 points), Team DPMD (56 points), Team NOVIG (53 points) and Team Frog Poison (51 points).
Let's take a look at some of the player sweats heading into Day 6 of the WSOP.
Event #1: $1,000 Mystery Millions
There are plenty of notable Fantasy players to keep an eye on in Event #1: $1,000 Mystery Millions, one of the most exciting events of the summer that will award life-changing money to a few lucky players.
Fantasy players toward the top of the counts include Alex Foxen, Josh Reichard, Brian Yoon and popular poker vlogger Brad Owen, while the players looking to run up a short stack include Cooper Feltham, Scott Bohlman, Brock Wilson and Ray Henson.

Russian endboss Artur Martirosian is looking for his third bracelet, while online wizard Patrick Leonard seeks a second piece of WSOP gold. Only one will advance to the championship round as the two Fantasy picks face off today in a heads-up match.
Event #8: $1,500 Dealers Choice
There are six Fantasy players to watch among the 14 remaining players heading into Day 3 of Event #8: $1,500 Dealers Choice.
Five-time bracelet winner Benny Glaser leads as the big stack, but he will have to fend off Justin Liberto, Scott Bohlman, Dan Zack, Eric Baldwin and Adam Owen, the only non-bracelet winner among the remaining Fantasy players.
Event #9: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship
There are dozens of Fantasy players in Event #9: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship and more are expected to join on Day 2. That includes Daniel Negreanu, who bagged a top-10 stack as the Poker Hall of Famer looks for his second bracelet in two years.
Fantasy players already in the field include Robert Mizrachi, Anthony Zinno, Matt Glantz, Andrew Brown, Maxx Coleman and Alex Livingston.
