You know what they say: you wait for ages for a bus then two arrive at once. Well, for poker players, that might be bracelets. On a night where two men rewrote their poker epitaphs and faced their new selves in the mirror, it was all about the taxi driver moments.

TEAM NOORI ALL ABOUT VALUE IN $25K FANTASY LEAGUE

We’re three weeks into the $25k Fantasy League, and while Team Maths has the overall lead as you can see from the current standings, Team Noori has been proving themselves extremely shrewd in terms of two particular player purchases.

While Shaun Deeb is marginally the highest points scorer for Noori, Ben Yu has posted some great points for even less of an investment. Scott Clements is the most value for money, costing just a single dollar and banking 136 points for the current league leaders.

Top Five $25k Fantasy League Point Scorers:

Rank Player Team Price Points
1 Shaun Deeb Team Noori $102.00 162
2 Daniel Negreanu Team Fleyshman $105.00 148
3 Ben Yu Team Noori $86.00 136
4 Scott Clements Team Maths $1.00 136
5 Shannon Shorr Team Baker $1.00 127
