Chris Brewer was the next player on the block and ended up becoming the second member of Team NOVIG alongside Chance Kornuth. His fetching prize capping out at $70.

The legendary Phil Ivey was the 19th player nominated, and a two-team bidding war drove up his prize to $69 before a third team tried to snipe in with a $70 bid.

That wasn't enough, as a bunch more bids came in before Team Glue Factory got the 11-time WSOP bracelet winner for $95.

Yuri Dzivielevski was the 16th player nominated in the 2025 $25K Fantasy Draft, and unsurprisingly, his price shot up quickly.

He managed to do what Shaun Deeb couldn't, and that was enter triple-digit territory. Team Liaison seemed intent on getting the Brazilian with a big bid of $119, and that did the trick.

Shaun Deeb, always one of the hot commodities in the $25K Fantasy, was the next nomination (No. 14 overall) with an opening bid of $50.

The bids rolled in and brought him up to $99. There was silence to see if he'd cross triple digits, but no other bid came in, meaning Team Phenom nabbed one of the most consistent performers in the $25K Fantasy.

Chance Kornuth was the next player nominated by Team Australia with an opening bid of $10, which was immediately bid up to $40.

Slowly but surely, the bids came in and drove his price to double that, which is when things slowed down. In fact, it was exactly an $80 bid that sent Kornuth to Team NOVIG.

Aaron Kupin was the next player nominated and garnered a great deal of interest, as evidenced by bids from several different teams. His price eventually settled at $42 to Team Hoggers.

Maxx Coleman was nominated by Team Survivor Sweat for $5.

Team AJ's Eagles and Team Survivor Sweat went back and forth bidding on Coleman, before AJ's Eagles final bid of $70 was enough to make team Survior Sweat bow out and was sold to Team AJ's Eagles.
