At the 2025 World Series of Poker, this year's schedule includes 100 bracelet events. One notable event returning this summer at Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas is bracelet Event #78: PokerNews Deepstack Championship (PNDC).
This also means last year's popular PokerNews Daily Deepstack Challenge is coming back, bigger and better than before!
From May 27 to June 30, players grinding the $200, $250, and $400 Daily Deepstacks tournaments at the WSOP will rack up leaderboard points. Every week, the top 10 players will be awarded a complimentary entry into the PNDC on July 1. That’s 50 seats up for grabs—10 more than last year, thanks to the additional week of action. Best of all? You can win multiple seats, meaning the more you play and perform, the better your shot at a deep WSOP run.

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:

Thomas Zanot raised to 4,000 from under the gun. Fabian Riebau-Schmithals made the call to his immediate left, and Colby Covington called in the big blind.
The flop came Q♠4♣4♥. Covington checked and Zanot bet 5,500. Riebau-Schmithals made the call and Covington got out of the way.
On the K♥ turn, Zanot slowed down and checked. Riebau-Schmithals now bet 16,000, and Zanot folded. Riebau showed the 4♦ for trip fours at worst, and raked in another pot to add to his above-average stack before dinner break.

With around 60,000 already in the pot and the flop showing 3♦K♦10♣, David Eldridge in the small blind checked, prompting Erik Nordstrand to bet the pot. Eldridge went all in, prompting a quick call of Nordstrand, leading to a showdown.
David Eldridge: A♥K♥J♣8♣
Erik Nordstrand: A♠A♣4♠2♦
Nordstrand was ahead with an overpair, but Eldridge had options for a straight and had top pair.
The 4♦ turn didn't improve Eldridge's hand, but the Q♦ river did, giving him a straight and a double-up, leaving Nordstrand with crumbs.
Level 6
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Todd Ivens was down to his final 4,400 when he jammed from under the gun. Anthony Zinno, in the next seat over, raised it to 12,000, which garnered a call from Steven Sarmiento to create a side pot while Ivens was at risk.
Zinno opted to bet 20,000 on the 2♠Q♦8♥ flop, but Sarmiento wanted to play for more and raised it ot 50,000. Zinno gave it some thought before he folded to lead to a showdown between Ivens and Sarmiento.
Todd Ivens: K♠Q♥5♣2♥
Steven Sarmiento: 8♠7♥6♣4♠
Ivens was in the lead with a top pair while Sarmiento held a middle pair. The 10♣ turn and the 5♠ river completed the board, upgrading Ivens to two pair, while Sarmiento failed to improve.
Level 6
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Akihide Shimizu was all-in for his last 39,000 preflop. Firas Kashat had raised to 135,000 from the cutoff, and Jonathan Azoulay called from the big blind with 75,000 behind.
With Shimizu all-in the dealer put out a monotone flop of 7♦K♦2♦. Azoulay checked, and Kashat jammed to put Azoulay all in. Azoulay opted to fold and the cards were tabled with Shimizu at risk.
Akihide Shimizu: A♦Q♦Q♣10♣
Firas Kashat: A♣A♥J♠4♣
Kashat had aces, but Shimizu flopped the nuts and had virtually a lock on the hand. The 4♥ turn left Kashat drawing dead as the 3♥ appeared on the river. Shimizu tripled up by winning the main pot, while Kashat made some chips by winning the side pot.
Level 6
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Dylan Weisman has reentered this event, and is now seated at table 78. In this hand, he raised to 5,000 in the hijack. He was called by Bruno Furth and David Williams, both to his immediate left.
The board came out with the J♥6♦5♥, and Weisman bet 6,000. Furth called, and Williams folded.
On the 9♥ turn, Weisman bet out for 21,000. Furth released, and Wesiman got his second entry started in the right direction.
