Before the 2025 World Series of Poker started, Chad Holloway and Mike Holtz were joined by Joey Ingram and Christina Gollins on the PokerNews Podcast to host the show's first-ever Fantasy Draft!
After reviewing the scoring system and choosing team names, a draft was conducted and the stakes were set. The owner of the worst team will buy the winning three teams a nice Las Vegas dinner. Plus, fans can choose which team they're rooting for, and if that team wins, they'll be entered into a random giveaway.
Who was drafted early? Who was put on the bench? And who wasn't drafted at all?
Find out in this episode of the PokerNews Podcast:

Ho came into the day as the chip leader but after a late start he seemed to be unable to win a pot for nearly two hours and his stack dwindled.
Three ways to a flop of Q♥J♠10♠, Kevin Ho pushed his last 165,000 in the middle. Igor Zektser and Owais Ahmed called.
No side pot was created as the two live players checked down the 8♥ and 5♦.
Ho quickly tabled 9♠8♠5♦4♦Ax for the flopped straight and his opponents mucked their hands.
"The nine is a key card!", exclaimed Ho as he claimed his triple up.
