Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 9,000 ante

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?

Quan Zhou raised to 15,000 under the gun and was called by Phil Hellmuth in the hijack, Frank Kassela on the button, and big blind Greg Mueller.
