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.
Check out this video to see the filtering options in action:
Welcome back to PokerNews, the official media partner of the 2025 World Series of Poker and home of live updates from all bracelet events.
Today sees the start of Event #50: $10,000 Razz Championship here at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
This three-day event gets underway at 2 p.m. local time, with late registration closing after 11 levels (approx 2:15 p.m. on Day 2). There will be 15-minute breaks every two hours of play. There is no reentry in this event.
Levels 1-6 are 40 minutes in duration, Levels 7-15 increase to 60 minutes and from Level 16 onwards, levels escalate to 90 minutes.
The starting stack is 60,000 chips, with the plan for Day 1 to play ten levels. For the surviving players or late registrants, Day 2 resumes at 1 p.m. Tuesday and wraps up after eight more levels play out. Day 3 is when a winner will be crowned.
Last year's event saw George Alexander conquer a field of 118 players to win $282,443 and his first WSOP bracelet.
In the 2023 edition, poker veteran and 2016 WSOP Main Event finalist Jerry Wong reigned supreme to become the king of Razz. He bagged his first WSOP bracelet after topping the 123-player field and defeating Carlos Chadha in heads-up play. Along with the piece of WSOP hardware, Wong grabbed the lion's share of the $1,143,900 prize pool, cashing out for $298,682.
