Some insane scores are being posted in both the PokerOrg Fantasy Freeroll and the $500 ODB Fantasy, according to David 'ODB' Baker. And we're not even halfway through the 2026 WSOP yet. 

Check out Baker's latest vlog above to hear about the players who have started hot and stayed hot this summer.

In the Fantasy Freeroll, Kath's Calls leads the way with 957 points – check out the latest Fantasy Freeroll update.

Team Late 7 is leading the way in the $500 ODB Fantasy League with 986 points, and you can expect them to eclipse the 1,000-point mark on Wednesday. Here are the players who have propelled Team Late 7 to the top:

  1. Naoya Kihara – 258  ($1.00)
  2. Chris Brewer – 212 ($61.00)
  3. Justin Liberto – 200 ($70.00) 
  4. Joao Simao – 108 ($20.00)
  5. Jake Schwartz – 87 (Bonus player)
  6. Chance Kornuth – 53 ($34.00)
  7. Jonathan Glendinning – 35 ($1.00)
  8. Kevin Yun Lam Choi – 28 ($1.00)
  9. Phillip Hui – 5 ($12.00)
Naoya Kihara in the $10K 7 Card Stud Championship. Naoya Kihara has already won two bracelets and scored big for all fantasy teams.

3x points up for grabs in $50K PPC

In his latest fantasy vlog, Baker says that you're going to need 2,000 to 2,200 points to win the ODB Fantasy league this year – the winning team will take home the $100,000 first prize. There are payouts all the way down to 100th, so if you haven't hit the jackpot yet, don't panic – there's still plenty of time left to score big points this summer.

The first of the 'big two' events, the $50K Poker Players Championship, starts on Sunday, and that awards 3x points. The $10K Main Event is the other and that kicks off July 2.

And remember, even a disastrous summer can have its perks: ODB Fantasy awards $2,500 to the team that finishes dead last. Team Undisputed 23 is currently in that position, with these eight players delivering a paltry 67 points so far.

  1. Nick Guagenti – 29 ($37.00)
  2. Shannon Shorr – 15 ($11.00)
  3. Adam Hendrix – 7 ($31.00)
  4. Phillip Hui – 5 ($12.00)
  5. Chino Rheem – 5 ($51.00)
  6. John Riordan – 4 ($12.00)
  7. Aram Zobian – 2 ($7.00)
  8. Scott Bohlman – 0 ($35.00)
  9. Darren Elias – 0 (Bonus player)
