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.

Hellmuth Flops Quads, Eliminates Klezys

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Gabrielle Barredo

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Kasparas Klezys raised to 2,500 in hijack with A♣J♣ and got called by Phil Hellmuth holding 4♠4♥ in cutoff.

The flop came 4♣4♦7♣ giving Hellmuth quads and leaving Klezys drawing dead. Klezys fired 2,000, unaware of his situation, and Hellmuth called.

Both players checked the turn 5♥,. The painful 10♣ river fell, and Klezys, who had caught a flush, passed the action to Hellmuth, hoping to trap possibly.

Hellmuth fired 14,700, Klezys went all-in. Hellmuth went, "I call, I've got quads." And with that Klezys left the table as Hellmuth scooped the pot.

Both checked on the K♦ turn and a 8♥ brought two pair on the board on the river. Mackenzie checked and Bechahed bet 13,300. Mackenzie quickly called but only to muck when he saw 7♠5♠ in Bechahed's hand for a full house.
