After a dramatic $25K Fantasy auction in Las Vegas last night, 192 of the world's best poker players have been drafted and prices set.
That means the 2026 PokerOrg Fantasy Freeroll is live – and now it's over to you.
Pick a team of eight players for this year's World Series of Poker and sweat them all summer long.
Every time they cash, your team gets points – check out the full scoring system. The only change from last year is that the $50K Poker Players Championship is now worth 3x points. All summer events count, barring the Tag Team and online events.
The team with the most points at the end of the summer wins, and there are prizes for everyone who finishes in the top 10. See details below.
Start building your Fantasy Freeroll team now! You can make changes right up until the deadline on Thursday.
Who will make the cut?
Shaun Deeb is expected to have a big summer.
He's chasing back-to-back Player of the Year titles and has already laid down a marker at the 2026 WSOP Europe, with two runner-up finishes. He is the most expensive player you can pick – but can you risk leaving him out?
You can find out more about all the available players – and who drafted them at the $25K Fantasy on our live blog from the PokerGO Studio.
Will Shaun Deeb bring his hot form over from Prague to Las Vegas this summer?
Don't miss the deadline
The Fantasy Freeroll draft is open until 1pm PT on Thursday, May 28. You can go back in and edit your team up until that point, when all teams will lock.
The 2026 WSOP gets underway at midday on May 26, and you can pick up some clues – and possibly even some points – if you want to follow the immediate form.
The draft deadline closes as Event #2: $5K 8-Handed NLHE opens for Day 3 action, with players already in the money.
