Event #51: $1,000 Tag Team
Jour 1 a débuté
This is a day a lot of poker enthusiasts are waiting for at the Word Series of Poker. Thursday, June 22, at 12 p.m. local time, friends, siblings, and partners will gather to take part in Event #15: $1,000 Tag Team No-Limit Hold’em. Get ready for three days of action at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
This year again, only one partner is allowed. All teams must register together and both players must check in to their table before the end of the registration. Teammates must play at least one round of blinds at some point in the tournament or the team will be disqualified.
Players may tag a teammate as long as that player is not in an active hand. Payouts will be calculated based on the number of teams and distributed evenly among the teammates.
In 2022, a fourth day was added to the tournament and British pro player Patrick Leonard with Norwegian Espen Jorstad won the event for $148,067 to split after topping a field of 913 teams. Later on, Jorstad became the winner of the 2022 WSOP Main Event. Will one of this year's winners enjoy the same fate?

Abby Merk was in early position and raised to 300 preflop. The cutoff and big blind both came along for the flop.
The flop came A♠J♥2♣ and Merk bet 600, the cutoff called and the big blind folded.
On the turn 4♦ both players checked.
The river came the 9♥ and Merk bet out 5,000. The cutoff looked thoroughly stressed and eventually made the call, then mucked as soon as Merk flipped over A♦9♠ for two pair.
