$5.8M in Guarantees Fire June 3–8: A Fantasy Roster Map

Between June 3 and June 8, at least $5.8 million in guaranteed prize pools will fire across multiple venues, and the roster decisions you lock before those first cards hit the air will define your fantasy month.

The early-June calendar isn't just busy. It's stacked in layers, with overlapping flight structures and Day 2 collisions that force top players to choose. For fantasy purposes, that means the field splits are predictable. And predictable splits are exploitable.

The Big Board: Five Events, Six Days

Here's every confirmed guarantee north of $300K firing in the June 3–8 window, ordered by start time:

• Event #16, $1,100 NLH ($1.5M GTD) — Flight 1F Turbo fires June 3 at 7:00 p.m. PT, with Day 2 resuming June 4 at 1:00 p.m. PT. The turbo structure means shorter stacks, faster bustouts, and fewer survivors carrying bags.
• DCPS 2026 #36, $800 NLH ($300K GTD) — Flight 1C opens June 5 at 10:10 a.m. PT. At $690 effective buy-in, this is the lowest entry on the board but still large enough to attract grinders looking to satellite up.
• DCPS 2026 #37, $1,100 NLH ($1M GTD) — Flight 1C fires June 8 at 10:10 a.m. PT. A million-dollar guarantee at a $960 effective buy-in. This one will draw volume.
• Event #26, $1,600 NLH ($2.5M GTD) — Flight 1A launches June 8 at 11:00 a.m. PT. The fattest guarantee of the window by a wide margin, and the highest buy-in at $1,430 effective.

Add it up: $5.8M across five distinct tournament listings, two of which share the same calendar date (June 8).

Five events, $5.8M in guarantees, and two of them fire on the same morning of June 8.

Where the Fields Collide

The critical overlap is June 8. DCPS #37 ($1M GTD) and Event #26 ($2.5M GTD) both launch within 50 minutes of each other. Players will have to pick one or scramble between flights.

For anyone building rosters on 25kfantasy.com, this is the key question: which of your rostered players will choose the $2.5M guarantee over the $1M? Higher-profile pros will almost certainly gravitate toward the $1,600 buy-in event with its larger prize pool. That leaves DCPS #37 softer in theory, but also less likely to produce a marquee final-table name for your roster.

If you're rostering a high-volume tournament grinder who fires every flight available, June 8 forces a binary choice. Your ODB projections should reflect that constraint.

The Turbo Wrinkle on June 3

Event #16's Flight 1F is labeled "Turbo" at $1,100. Turbos compress the scoring window. Players either bag fast or bust fast. From a fantasy perspective, turbo flights are high-variance scoring opportunities: a big bag is worth a lot, but the median outcome is zero. If your roster leans toward players who thrive in deeper structures, their expected fantasy output from this flight drops.

Day 2 of Event #16 fires June 4 at 1:00 p.m. PT. Any player who bags from the turbo flight is locked into Day 2 action the following afternoon, which means they're unavailable for anything else on that date.

The Roster Takeaway

Three principles for the June 3–8 window:

1. Diversify across the June 8 fork. Don't roster four players who all choose Event #26 over DCPS #37. Split your exposure. 2. Discount turbo-flight scoring. Event #16's turbo structure compresses the upside curve. Weight your expectations accordingly. 3. Check ownership percentages on 25kfantasy.com before June 3. If the field loads up on the same $2.5M-guarantee names, contrarian exposure to the $1M event could separate your roster from the pack.

The calendar doesn't lie. The overlaps are real, the choices are forced, and the rosters that account for scheduling conflicts will outperform the ones that don't.
