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