All summer long, PokerNews will be offering updates from both the 25K Fantasy and ODB Fantasy leagues, which you can read in our dedicated hub here.

But did you know that you're also able to follow all the players from both leagues in our live updates? Every player drafted in the 25K Fantasy, as well as all the ODB Bonus players, have been tagged with special badges that allow you to visit out chip count page and filter by said badges. So, if all you want to see are players from those leagues and how they're doing, it's as simple as clicking the badges and then filtering.

What's more, each tournament has a "$25K Fantasy" tab at the top of the updates. Click that and all you'll see are hands played by players in the 25K Fantasy league.

PokerNews understands that when it comes to fantasy, some readers only care about their team, so we've made it simple to follow all your rostered players with a few simple clicks.

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Justin Vaysman open-shoved in middle position for 195,000 and got called by David Fields in the big blind taking the players to showdown.

Justin Vaysman: A♠8♠ All in
David Fields: 2♦2♠

Vaysman immediately spiked a pair on the flop K♣8♣5♥ beating Fields' pocket deuces. The runout 9♣5♠ didn't improve Fields' hand giving Vaysman a boost in his chips.

Sava Krink

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Damien Cluzel moved all in from under the gun for 550,000, and Srivinay Irrinki followed suit on the button, jamming for his remaining 450,000.

Srivinay Irrinki: 10♠10♦ All in
Damien Cluzel: A♥Q♦

The flop came 6♥J♦Q♥, giving Cluzel top pair and the lead. The 4♣ on the turn changed nothing, but the river brought the 10♣, giving Irrinki a set of tens to claim the pot. He secured a much-needed double-up, while Cluzel was left with just a handful of chips.

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Johnny Chen opened to 80,000 in early position and got an all in shove from Stephen Graner for 550,000 in middle position. Chen snap-called.

Stephen Graner: K♥10♣ All in
Johnny Chen: A♣J♣

Chen was the favorite on the flop 5♦9♣Q♣ with ace-high and a flush draw. Things changed when Graner spiked a pair on the 10♦ turn. Chen still had outs to turn the tables around.

The river 10♠ gave Graner trips which secured him a double up leaving Chen with less than ten big blinds.

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Ryan Wolfson raised in early position to 80,000, and Mark Darner called from the big blind. The flop was 2♠10♣5♥, and both players checked it down.

On the turn 8♥ and the river 2♥, both players checked again, and Darner tabled A♦Q♣ and Wolfson mucked as ace-high with a pair of twos was good.
