Event #66: $1,000 Tag Team Reaches Day 3 With 27 Teams Left
Day 3 of Event #66:$1,000 Tag Team No-Limit Hold'em gets underway today at 12 p.m when 27 teams will return to Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas to fight for a share of the $1,210,00 prize pool that accrued following a total of 1,375 teams buying in to this event.
Each team has already secured a score of $5,382. That being said, the first-place prize of $184,769 and a WSOP gold bracelet will certainly be in the sights of every team, with some more poised to take the crown than others. Team Szwarcberg (2,300,000), consisting of Tomas Szwarcberg and Sebastien Hetzel is currently leading. Close behind are Ryan Franklin and Micahel Zulker of Team Franklin (2,100,000), followed by Christine Brewer and Orson Young of Team Brewer (1,830,000).
