Amazon Room Gets Crowded, Cards Will Be in the Air Soon
While poker is generally a mind game for individuals, a "tag team" tournament is a fine way for players who want to experience the team spirit of poker. They are sharing their chip stack with fellow grinders, in teams of two, three or four players, which can add a sense of camaraderie and teamwork to go along with the competition. Just ask Liv Boeree and Igor Kurganov — they can tell you something about the unique feeling of winning a bracelet as a team. The couple scooped the title in the Event #2: $10,000 Tag Team No-Limit Hold'em Championship last week.
It's now about time to start the team journey in the $1,000 edition of this event as hundreds of players are lining up at the tables in the "Tan" and "Orange" sections in the famous Amazon Room. There is a slight delay as teams are still checking in before taking their seats — the battles will be on shortly!
