Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

A total of 2,746 players opted in to Event #65: $1,000 Tag Team No-Limit Hold'em at Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas,. Those players made up 1,373 teams of two, all with their eyes on two coveted World Series of Poker bracelets, one for each teammate. That’s not all, however, as a staggering $184,780 will be heading in the winning duo’s direction. This amount is only the top score from a $1,208,240 prize pool. At day’s end, there are only 276 teams in with a shot of taking down the six-figure score, and of those, only 206 will cash as the bubble is set to burst shortly into Day 2.

There are some strict rules and regulations that players have had to follow over the course of the day to ensure no foul play occurs. Inactive players must be outside of the rail, in the spectator’s area, and are not allowed to offer any help to their teammates.

Furthermore, a swap can only take place between hands, not during, and each player was obliged to have played at least one orbit before the end of late registration. A one-round penalty will be instantly handed out if a player is caught showing a card to their partner or telling them what they have.

Day 1 Top Ten Chip Counts

Rank	Team	Country	Chip Count	Big Blinds
1	Louis Seguin - Hugo Blacher	France	436,000	174
2	Mimi Roeder - Karim Tannous	United States	336,000	134
3	Behnam Ghane - Mohammad Pourmandi	United States	322,000	128
4	Alexander Farahi - Alexander Massman	United States	300,500	120
5	Henry Liang - Benny Chen	United States	292,500	117
6	Carson Richards - Matthew Richards	United States	285,500	114
7	John Ciccarelli - Hunter Cole	United States	281,500	112
8	Kacper Pyzara - Dzmitry Urbanovich	Poland	279,000	111
9	Richard Curren - Cathy Schenone	United States	275,500	110
10	Benjamin Jacobs - Darin Utley	United States	261,000	104

Louis Seguin and Hugo Blacher find themselves atop the leaderboard at the end of the first day, as they racked up a monumental 480,000 chips, good for 240 big blinds, and will be looking to exert big-stack pressure on their return to the cardroom. Mimi Roeder and Karim Tannous come in not too far behind (436,000), with Benham Ghane and Mohammad Pourmandi rounding out the podium (336,000).

The talented duo of Kacper Pyzara - Dzmitry Urbanovich finished with a 279,000 stack, good for 111 big blinds at the start of Day 2. This Polish team has around $8.5 million in combined live poker tournament earnings, yet neither has yet won a bracelet.

Some big names have made it through, also, with Jared Jaffee and father Milton Jaffee (78,500) on the run of a lifetime, Christine Brewer and Orson Young (24,000) as well as Cody Daniels and high-stakes cash player Alan Keating (178,000) bagging up at the end of the night. Also, the only three-player team in the tournament, led by Marle Spragg and Gary Cordeiro has also proceeded (113,000).

That being said, plenty of formidable teams headed home extremely early on, with three Main Event winners sent packing on Day 1. 1983 Champion Tom McEvoy, along with teammate Keith Burt were gone by Level 3, and a team comprised of two victors, Jonathan Tamayo and Ryan Riess, didn’t last much longer, as they bowed out in Level 4. Tiktok star Bryce Hall and teammate Sam Soverel weren’t able to progress either.

Teams will certainly be adapting their strategies coming into the second day, as they are tasked with deciding who plays when, and how to best deal with being overworked, as the tournament has no set breaks in the schedule. Day 2 is when the connection between players really starts to get tested, and only the strongest bonds, as well as the sun runners, will pass.

Players will return in just under 12 hours, at 11:00 a.m. local time, to the Horseshoe Events Center Bronze and Gold sections. Blinds will begin at 1,000/2,500 with a 2,500 big blind ante, with the day starting at Level 12.

Stay tuned as PokerNews offers all of the action and more throughout the entirety of Day 2, beginning with the shuffle up, and not ending until play does so.

Level 10 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Riku Sasahara from team Kawamata opened from middle position to 3,500. Aurelie Reard from team Reard just arrived fresh at the table and made the call. Michael Santana, in the big blind, decided to make a call as well. The flop showed 5♣8♣7♥. All three players checked to the turn Kx.

Sasahara check-called the bet of 6,000 from Reard. Santana decided to bow out. The river showed 8x. Both players checked.

Sasahara held 6♣6♦, but conceded the pot to Reard's K♥J♥, good for a superior two pair.

Aurelie Reard - Alexandre Reard	72,000 30,000	30,000

Ace for the Chip Lead

Level 10 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Hugomanuel Robertblacher's teammate will be extremely pleasantly surprised to return to the action seeing his teammate has given them an overwhelming chip lead at both the table, and in the tournament.

Jose Andrade of Team Andrade placed in a three-bet following an open from Robertblacher of Team Seguin, to an amount of 17,500. Robertblacher then opted for a very small four-bet to 33,500, and Andrade didn't take long before shoving all in. Robertblacher asked for a count, and upon hearing that it was 97,800, he made the call to contest a 125 big blind pot.

Jose Andrade: K♣K♦ All in
Hugomanuel Robertblacher: A♠K♥

Robertblacher was drawing to an ace, and he saw a miracle 9♣10♣A♥ flop to give him the lead. It was now Andrade who found himself behind in equity, as he was looking for the case king to stay alive in the event. The 2♦9♥ runout helped him none, as Team Andrade exited brutally.

Louis Seguin - Hugo Blacher	269,300

Jose Andrade - Fernando Fontoura Brito	Busted
