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.

Level 7 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Brandon Steven raised from under the gun to 21,000 and was re-raised by David Peters to 63,000 as next to act. Right behind him, in the hijack, Landon Tice put in another raise to 120,000 Steven folded and Peters called.

The flop came A♥10♦3♦ and Peters check-called the 60,000 chip bet from Tice.

On the turn 4♣, Peters check-called again, this time for 125,000.

The 7♦ river was followed by checks from both players, and Peters showed A♣Q♥ for top pair while Tice mucked.
