phil ivey
He still has bracelet bets on the line and
he absolutely loves the WSOP grind. He
had an off year last year, but the new
schedule, with both a $10k Razz and $10k
Stud, plays into his favor.
2
Scott Clements
The kid is a beast. He plays all the
games well and plays a full schedule.
He’s a real threat in no-limit hold’em,
but even more so in Omaha HL.

Scott Seiver
Scott has been on fire lately playing
no-limit events, but that’s not why
I’m picking him. He is another guy
who plays all the games really well and he
wants to win just as bad as anyone. He loves
to play poker and it’s obvious when you sit at
a table with him that there is no other place
he would rather be.

Jacob Schindler
Jake has a strong cash game
background and he’s been trying his
luck at tournaments. He cashed in
seven events last year, but his best finish was
10th. I think he breaks out this summer.
2
Mukul Pahuja
Mukul has been a regular on the circuit
for some time. He is yet to win a major
title, and has less than $50k in lifetime
cashes at the WSOP, but his confidence is
running high and that can go a long way.

Owais Ahmed
If you’re looking for someone to get you
points in the mixed events, look no
further. He’s matured since his
breakout year in 2011 and his game today is
even more disciplined and patient. He’s going
to play most of the smaller fields and I’d be
surprised if he doesn’t make a final table.
1
Phil Hellmuth
I wouldn’t choose Hellmuth for fantasy
poker at any other time, but when it
comes to the WSOP no one tries harder
than the 13-time bracelet winner.
2
Phil Ivey
I don’t know if anyone else has noticed,
but when it comes to the WSOP, Phil
Ivey has waxing and waning years, and
2014 is the former. I expect some big things
from the nine-time bracelet winner, especially
since this is the last year for his famed bracelet
bets. That means you can expect him to play a
full schedule and to play it hard.
3
Scott Clements
There are few players that play as
disciplined and dedicated as Clements.
He is a consummate professional and
he’s going to put up results. I’d like to have him
on my team any day.
