With the end of the World Series of Poker, the associated Fantasy League also came to an end. 24 teams competed for $600,000 with the top five finishers receiving prizes.
At the end of the series, the following reached the top five:
| Team | Manager(s) | Points | Prize |
|---|---|---|---|
| Team DNegs | Daniel Negreanu | 1,337 | $250,000 |
| Team Banana | David Baker | 1,069 | $125,000 |
| Team Spitework | Wantman | 1,066 | $100,000 |
| Team Glue Factory | Daniel Sepiol | 1,066 | $75,000 |
| Team Lang Gang | Mike + Josh | 1,00 | $50,000 |
While everyone was focused on the overall results and the fact that Negreanu became a winner of 25KFantasy for the first time, we decided to take a look at the winning team’s performance separately and tell you about the winnings of each Team DNegs member, excluding Ben Lamb, who brought his team nothing.
Josh Arieh — 356 points, 15 ITMs
Although Joshua’s 2026 WSOP was a winless affair, he still managed to become one of the most successful players not only on his team, but also on the entire series.
Arieh cashed 15 times, amassing $1,638,220 in prize money with the biggest results:
| Event | Place | Prize |
|---|---|---|
| $50K Mixed Games Poker Players Championship | 2 | $895,837 |
| $10K Limit H.O.R.S.E. Championship | 2 | $275,620 |
| $1,5K PLO Hi-Lo 8 or Better | 3 | $110,085 |
| $10K WSOP Main Event | 198 | $57,500 |
| $25K Limit H.O.R.S.E. | 13 | $52,857 |
Daniel Negreanu — 294 points, 15 ITMs
For Daniel, the 2026 WSOP was truly amazing. The series was his most profitable in the last 10 years, according to Negreanu’s YouTube and X/Twitter reports:
- He played 54 events
- Made 79 entries
- Reached ITM 15 times
Moreover, he won one tournament — $100K PLO High Roller — for $2,257,718 and the eighth bracelet of his career.
Dan’s total winnings at the 2026 WSOP were $2,977,868, leaving him with a profit of $1,693,518 after deducting buy-ins. His five biggest scores:
| Event | Place | Prize |
|---|---|---|
| $100K PLO High Roller | 1 | $2,257,718 |
| $50K NLH High Roller | 8 | $226,086 |
| $25K PLO/NLH High Roller | 7 | $152,954 |
| $50K PLO High Roller | 11 | $107,940 |
| $25K PLO High Roller | 26 | $69,531 |
What’s even better is that Negreanu not only made money himself, but also brought in $338,703 for his fans who bought shares from him as a part of the Summer Package sale on PokerStake.
Nick Pupillo — 210 points, 14 ITMs
While Nick Pupillo didn’t manage to win a trophy at the WSOP, he still managed to reach three final tables and earn $438,326 in prize money.
His top five finishes aren’t as impressive as those of Arieh and Negreanu, but they’re still quite respectable:
| Event | Place | Prize |
|---|---|---|
| $5K NLH | 5 | $168,402 |
| $1K PLO Mystery Bounty | 6 | $64,000 |
| $25K PLO/NLH High Roller | 16 | $52,500 |
| $1,5K Limit 2-7 Triple Draw Lowball | 4 | $49,458 |
| $5K NLH Super Turbo Bounty | 12 | $30,140 |
Bryn Kenney — 193 points, 3 ITMs
The player with the highest recorded live poker tournament winnings as of July 2026, Bryn has only had three ITMs at the WSOP.
However, they turned out to be some of the biggest in the series, bringing him a total of $3,859,322:
| Event | Place | Prize |
|---|---|---|
| $250K NLH Super High Roller | 2 | $2,776,634 |
| $50K NLH High Roller | 3 | $1,041,908 |
| $100K 8-Game Championship | 9 | $40,780 |
Dong Chen — 150 points, 11 ITMs
The only non-American on the team, Dong Chen won one WSOP event in 2026 and amassed a total of $388,421 in prize money.
Winning the $10K Limit Hold’em Championship earned him $285,200.
Dong also got $65,643 for finishing 10th in the $10K 6-Handed NLH Championship.
His other cashes netted him no more than $7K each.
Jason Koon — 73 points, 3 ITMs
One of the best poker players and the number one candidate for induction into the Poker Hall of Fame 2026, Jason had a rather low-key WSOP, making only three ITMs.
Nevertheless, he managed to collect a total of $1,125,622 in prize money, largely thanks to one final table in the most expensive tournament of the series:
| Event | Place | Prize |
|---|---|---|
| $250K NLH Super High Roller | 5 | $972,375 |
| $50K PLO High Roller | 14 | $102,800 |
| $25K PLO High Roller | 65 | $50,447 |
Eli Elezra — 61 points, 8 ITMs
Finally, the living poker legend also made his own contribution to the team’s success, taking eight cashes for a total of $105,405.
Unlike his teammates, Eli was content with relatively modest prize money, the largest of which turned out to be very close in size:
| Event | Place | Prize |
|---|---|---|
| $10K Limit Seven Card Stud Championship | 13 | $21,496 |
| $3K Mixed Games: Nine-Game Mix | 8 | $21,420 |
| $10K Limit Razz Championship | 15 | $21,136 |
