The 2026 World Series of Poker has largely concluded, with only the Main Event final table remaining, set for August 3-5. Among those returning is Greg “FBT” Mueller, a bonus player in the ODB $500 Fantasy League, a popular side game that runs alongside Daniel Negreanu’s 25K Fantasy.
Mueller entered the Main Event with just two minor cashes worth two points, selected by only four teams. Even a strong finish at the final table would not change the overall standings significantly, since only one team with Mueller could benefit, and only if he reaches at least fourth place.
This year’s ODB Fantasy League saw record participation, with 1,199 teams competing for a total prize pool of $599,500. Payouts extended to the top 100 finishers, while a $2,500 consolation prize went to the last-place team, Team Degen Summer Campers 2, which finished with 222 points.
The winning team belonged to poker power couple Kristen and Alex Foxen, who accumulated 1,897 points to capture the title and the $100,000 top prize, finishing 39 points ahead of the field.
Alex Foxen was a major contributor to his own team’s success, scoring 441 points, the second-highest total among all players, trailing only Japan’s Naoya Kihara, who posted 510 points. The Foxens’ roster also included Calvin Anderson, who ranked fourth overall with 385 points, and Martin Zamani, who finished seventh with 337 points.
Rounding out their roster, the Foxens selected Nick Palma as their bonus player. Palma, who had publicly expressed disappointment over being excluded from the 25K Fantasy League, delivered an impressive summer with 173 points across 16 cashes, making him the third-highest scoring bonus player in the ODB League.
