Josh Arieh

The engine of Negreanu's winning 25K Fantasy roster, at a $55 price and 15 cashes. Not currently in the top three of the official WSOP POY race in our sources, but 15 cashes is a real summer by any measure.

Close enough that the $25K H.O.R.S.E. and Paradise both matter. No new results in our sources today.

The two-time POY's deep run ended in the final level, per PokerNews.

Busted 146th in the Summer Celebration but told the Review-Journal he is chasing both POY and bracelet number eight in the Main Event. Him, Negreanu, and Rast are all stuck on the same number. Eight is having a moment.

Came into Day 2 with a healthy stack and could not get anything going. Still fourth in the POY race and playing the Main Event, per the Review-Journal.

Heads-up vs. Glaser. Final hand in O8 - Glaser rivered the better two pair on a queen turn. Arieh had Glaser nearly even going into heads-up but momentum was with the Brit from the start. Seven bracelets, runner-up in the PPC. Still earns major POY points.

Runner-up in the most prestigious mixed-game event in the world, weeks after being passed over for the Poker Hall of Fame. Lost to Glaser heads-up in Omaha 8 or Better. The HOF committee may need to rethink.

Seven-time WSOP bracelet winner fell just short of 8. Held big lead at various points in three-handed play. Eliminated when his straight ran into Anderson's flush in Seven Card Stud heads-up. Was denied what would have been a historically significant bracelet number.
