Martin Kabrhel, who went undrafted last year, then went on to make waves at the WSOP, was a hot commodity this year.
Several teams got in the bidding for the Czech player, who ultimately went for $69 to Team Lucky.
Kabrhel became the fifth player on Shaun Deeb's team.
Thomas Taylor started in the single digits and ended up at $34 to go to Team Premiums Only.
PLO crusher Dylan Weisman was the next player nominated, and Shaun Deeb added his fourth player to Team Lucky.
Weisman sold for $46 and joined the likes of Frankie Brannan, Max Neugebauer, and Esther Taylor on the roster.
Team Lucky has spent exactly half their budget on exactly half their team. Now, that's a balanced range!
Frank Brannan went for $25 to Team Lucky, while Dylan Linde went to Team Premiums Only for $59.
Robert Wells started off as a single-digit nominee, but several bids saw his price rise to $36, which was enough for Team Spitework to get him.
Chad Eveslage won two bracelets in a week a few summers back, and there were several teams that put that much confidence into the American pro this time around.
Eveslage started in the mid double digits and settled at $89 as he went to Team Dinkers.
Argentina's Nacho Barbero was nominated for $1, but as expected, his prize shot up.
Eventually, he sold to Team Torching w/ TJ for $43, becoming TJ Reid's first player on the roster.
Philip Sternheimer proudly played his country's national anthem last year when he had a bracelet, and he may have a chance to do so again after being drafted for double digits today.
The German/Danish pro with British citizenship received several bids before going for $65 to Team Back Office.
Phil Ivey was the next player on the nomination block, and a back-and-forth bidding war, one that progressed dollar by dollar, saw the Poker Hall of Famer go to Team Verderamo for $80.
Ivey joins Nick Schulman on the roster, but between those two, Team Verdamo has spent $169, meaning they have just $31 remaining to fill their six remaining roster spots.
Bidding for three-time bracelet winner John Racener started in the double digits and climbed in the $60s and $70s before settling at $86 as he was picked up by Team Noori.
