Whether you’re at the tables in Las Vegas or watching on from home, the PokerOrg WSOP Fantasy Freeroll gives you the chance to get some skin in the game in 99 different bracelet events in the World Series.

It’s free, it’s fun, and it comes with prizes, but here’s the thing:

You have to get your team submitted by 1pm PT on Thursday, May 28!

Choose 8 players you think will perform the best during the series, give your team a name and climb the leaderboards with every point they score.

Compete against your friends — and the world — for a free shot at some awesome poker prizes.

Late mover advantage?

Of the 99 eligible events at the WSOP, there’s one worth checking in on before you finalize your team. And that’s because it’s already in the money.

Nick Seward Nick Seward has a decent stack, a sensible price, and a good shot at winning a bracelet in week one.

That’s right, if your team includes any of the players still left in the $5K NLH 8-Handed event, you’ll be guaranteed points — and possibly some big ones if they go on to win.

570 players entered, 31 get paid and just 24 remain. At the time of writing, here’s the list of 5 eligible players still competing for the bracelet, and how much of your $200 team salary they’ll cost.

You could even draft them all and still have $113 left to spend on the final 3 members of your team.

Day 3 of the 4-day event resumes at 1pm PT on Thursday, when our Fantasy draft closes, and will play down to a final five — one of whom will claim the bracelet on Friday.

It’s a long series and there’s no guarantee that anyone will deliver consistently across a packed 7-week tournament schedule, but everyone has potential.

But as of right now, these guys have a little more than potential: they have the promise of immediate points on the board.
