Canadians Jeffrey Roth and Jeremy McFarlane took down one half of the 2017 Seneca Fall Poker Classic Double Tag Team Event at the Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino in Niagara Falls, NY early Wednesday morning.
Fellow Canadians Tim Pell and Darryl Swarts won the event's other tournament, earning $1,994 in the process. Roth and McFarlane grabbed $1,479 for their win.
The uniquely formatted $120 Tag Team No Limit Hold'em event was actually two tournaments in one. Teams of two bought in to into one or both and tagged in and out or switched seats every 20 minutes.
The event drew teams of all sorts including couples, friends and family. A good time was had by all as the tournaments both featured a little more of a fun and jovial atmosphere than normal. Poker can be a lonely pursuit. Team events bring people together and this event was certainly evidence of that.
The two teams who won certainly left happy, but there's little doubt others did as well. Two teams, including friends Louis Hawkins and Don Lewis, and father and son Mark and Casey Nowak, even made the final table of both tournaments. However, only Hawkins and Lewis cashed in both.
For others that cashed, the money wasn't big, but the level of fun definitely was, and they all left smiling.
PokerNews' coverage of the 2017 Seneca Fall Poker Classic is dark Wednesday, but continues with the $300 Pot Limit Omaha event on Thursday Nov. 9 beginning at 1 p.m.
