Negreanu's blog: A Look Into the World of High Stakes WSOP Drafting

info by pokerstrategy.com
Every year at around this time, fantasy WSOP drafts pop up on poker forums. Fans aren't the only ones who do this, however. High stakes pros take place in an annual draft as well, and Daniel Negreanu's latest blog shows exactly what happened this year.
This year's high stakes WSOP Fantasy Draft was publicized by Daniel Negreanu, and through his blog, fans everywhere can see exactly how it went.
The entry fee was $25,000. Each team received 200 points to bid on players. All teams ultimately consisted of 8 players.
The scoring system is heavily weighted towards final tables, and all points are doubled for $10,000 buy-ins and up.
Therefore, the most valuable players are the ones who will play the high buy-in mixed game tournaments, and great No Limit specialists are often taken for very few points.
15 teams entered, and the top 3 places will be paid out at 65%/25%/10%.
For a close look at all of the teams and Daniel Negreanu's thoughts on them, check out his blog post at Full Contact Poker.
My favorite is Team #7, owned by Scott Seiver, Justin Bonomo, and Eric Froehlich. Which do you think is strongest?
