Several Fantasy Players Eye Bracelets on Day 8
Event #9: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship
Team Negreanu, currently sitting in last place, has a chance to gain ground as Daniel Negreanu himself returns third in chips with just five players remaining.
Negreanu has already locked up 62 points for his squad, but a win—worth 127 points—would require getting through chip leader Viktor Blom (Team Dinkers).
Play resumes at 2:00 p.m. local time, with coverage streaming on PokerGO starting at 3:00 p.m.
Event #11: $10,000 Mystery Bounty
Only five players remain, but no fantasy draftees are left in contention. Joe Cada (Team Money Mondays) was the final fantasy player in the field, finishing 7th and earning 46 points for his team.
Event #12: $1,500 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw
Five players remain, and three are fantasy draftees—making this a key sweat, especially for Team NOVIG.
Brad Ruben and Yueqi Zhu, both from Team NOVIG, sit second and fourth in chips, respectively. Brian Yoon (Team Hoggers) is also still in the mix.
All three have locked up 35 points, with 80 on the line for the winner.
