The 2024 Free Poker Network Tag Team Championship finished up on Saturday night and it was the team of Phil Wilburn and Darren Sneed that took home the championship belts and the top prize of $1,500.
Wilburn and Sneed came into the final table with the second smallest chip stack, and they fell to just one big blind before the team rallied back for the win. They outlasted 162 teams on their way to victory.
The pair are followed in second by Mike Yoder and Marla Smith, who did most of the heavy lifting at the final table before bowing out in second. Jamieson Smith and Becky Ogrodny finished third and the team of Eugene and Boyd Brandsrud ran to fourth place, while John Zellich and Jeff Kochersperger rounded out the top five teams.

Chad Holloway said he would shove in the dark from under the gun if he pulled a blank bounty envelope, and that's exactly what happened.
Holloway shoved 60,800 and Cedric Thompson counted out his chips before he called to put him at risk. The rest of the table got out of the way and the cards were turned up.
Chad Holloway: J♦8♦
Cedric Thompson: A♥A♦
The board ran out 7♠5♥6♠7♣J♠ and Thompson's aces held off an open-ended straight draw to send Holloway to the rail in time to watch the Dolphins game.
