Event #28's Triple Fantasy Lock: 204 Points From One Mixed Event

204 Points, Three Teams, One Event

Three rostered players on three different $25K Fantasy teams locked a combined 204 points in WSOP Event #28, and mixed NLH/PLO events may be the most underpriced format in fantasy scoring.

The event: the $600 Mixed No-Limit Hold'em / Pot-Limit Omaha Deepstack. The players: Daniel Negreanu (47 points locked, ceiling of 96), Alex Foxen (118 locked, ceiling of 167), and Josh Reichard (39 locked, ceiling of 88). Three different rosters. Three simultaneous payoffs. All from a single $600 buy-in event that most drafters probably treated as an afterthought.

Alex Foxen has already locked 118 fantasy points with a ceiling of 167 in a single $600 buy-in event.

The Locked-Points Breakdown

| Player | Team | Locked | Ceiling | Upside Remaining | |---|---|---|---|---| | Alex Foxen | Lady Gaga (Ren Lin) | 118 | 167 | 49 | | Daniel Negreanu | DNEGS (Negreanu) | 47 | 96 | 49 | | Josh Reichard | Torching w/ TJ (TJ Reid) | 39 | 88 | 49 | | Combined | | 204 | 351 | 147 |

With 35 players remaining in Event #28, all three still have 49 points of upside left. The combined ceiling sits at 351 points. That is a staggering amount of fantasy value from a single low buy-in event.

Foxen's 118 locked points are the headline number. That total, from a $600 tournament, already exceeds what many rostered players produce across an entire week of higher buy-in NLH events. For context, Foxen's ceiling of 167 in this one event could represent a top-decile single-event fantasy score for the entire summer.

Why Mixed Events Deserve a Closer Look

The $25K Fantasy contest at 25kfantasy.com rewards deep runs and cashes. Points scale with finishing position relative to field size. The format of the underlying poker event doesn't change the math. A final table is a final table.

But mixed NLH/PLO events introduce a wrinkle that pure Hold'em events don't: field compression. The PLO component filters out a meaningful chunk of NLH specialists who skip these events entirely. Fewer entries from grinders who know only one game means the versatile players on your roster have a structural edge before cards are in the air.

Consider what that means for drafting. A player like Foxen, comfortable in both formats, enters a field where a portion of the competition is either sitting out or playing at a skill disadvantage in the PLO rounds. The buy-in stays low ($600), the field gets softer on average, and the fantasy points flow from the same finishing-position scale as a $600 pure NLH event.

The ODB projections on the Charlotte side of the contest don't yet weight format type as an independent variable. But the Event #28 data is hard to ignore. Three rostered players. Three separate teams. 204 locked points with 147 more available. All from one mixed event.

What Drafters Should Watch For

The 2026 WSOP schedule includes several more mixed-format events. If your rostered players have PLO chops, those events represent potential bonus scoring opportunities that pure NLH grinders on rival rosters will miss.

The math here is simple. Foxen locked 118 points in a $600 mixed event. Negreanu locked 47. Reichard locked 39. That is 204 points of confirmed production from a format category most fantasy drafters underweight. If mixed events consistently produce this kind of multi-player overlap, they deserve a dedicated column in your roster planning spreadsheet.
