Nick Schulman Joins Team Negreanu Once Again ($66)

Daniel Negreanu wanted his man!
Daniel Negreanu wanted his man!

Jim Collopy became the second selection of Team Girl Dads going for $33, joining John Riordan.

Daniel Negreanu then nominated a player whom he's traditionally had on his team in Nick Schulman. Kid Poker didn't seem too interested in him this year as first letting some other teams bid him up, but then at the last minute bid $62. That inspired a few other bids but ultimately Schulman ended up on Team Negreanu once again, this year going for $66.

David Peters then went for $13 to Team AJ's Eagles (AJ Kelsall's first pick), followed by Dan Zack to Team NGNF for $20.

Chance Kornuth to Team Livingston as 17th Overall Pick ($73); Phil Hellmuth to Team CoffeeBreakers.com ($72)

Chance Kornuth
Chance Kornuth

Chance Kornuth was the next player nominated and Daniel Negreanu got in on the bidding for the first time but soon bowed out as bidding began to rise through the fifties into the sixties and ultimately to Team Livingston for $73, joining AJ Kelsall on the roster.

Phil Hellmuth, the league's all-time points earner, became the 18th player nominated in the 2024 $25K Fantasy Draft, but despite his strong performances over the past decade-plus, his price was slow to increase.

That said, it did inch up dollar-by-dollar to $72 as a winning bid by TheCoffeeBreakers.com, who selected their third player and left themselves just $5 to make their next five selections. That means they're relegated to five $1 picks, which likely won't happen until the tail end of the draft.

Brian Yoon to Team Chingas ($47); Bradley Ruben to Team Oz ($50); Dylan Weisman to Team Baker ($59)

Brian Yoon was the next player nominated and went to Team for $47 to Team Chingas, and then Bradley Ruben followed for $50 to Team Oz to join their previous selection of Jake Schwartz.

Dylan Weisman was then nominated and it seemed as if he might go for $1 before another big came in last second. That spurred a series of bids that saw his price start to rise through the teens, into the twenties dollar-by-dollar, jumps throughout the thirties and forties, and finally into the fifties settling on a winning bid of $59 by Team Baker.

Brett Hanks made it transparent that he wanted the GGPoker Ambassador on his side, and he eventually got his man after no other team wanted to beat his $55 bid.

Jake Schwartz ($41) and Chad Eveslage ($75) Off the Board

After Jake Schwartz went to Team Oz for $41, Chad Eveslage became the 10th player nominated.

Another bidding war ensued in which teams went from $40 to $50 to $60 to $69. From there it was dollar-by-dollar between Team NGNF and a couple teams.

"$75 and we're out, I promise," Brent Hanks declared while placing said bid. Whether or not that would've been true will never be known as the $75 bid by Team NGNF proved enough to get the job done.
