Today is a very special day in the TonyBet Power Weekend – it’s the day for the Tag Team event! Over the years this has proven to be one of the most popular events held at Playground Poker Club – it always sells out, and the “team” aspect of the event adds a buzz to the room that’s only found during the biggest events we host.
The formula for the Tag Team at Playground Poker Club is simple: everyone registers in a team of 2 players, each of whom play the first 6 levels as an individual. After level 6, there is a redraw and each team takes a seat at a table, merging the two stacks into one stack that will be used to continue the tournament. For the rest of the tournament, teammates alternate, switching at the beginning of each new level.
While one team member is playing, he or she can only consult with a partner during a hand by using a “consultation chip” – and each team only gets three of these to start the event. Teams can accumulate additional consultation chips by eliminating teams – one chip for each team eliminated.
This edition of the Tag Team event has been sold out since mid-week last week (capacity was 200 teams), and an alternates list already has 17 additional teams on it… and counting.
Good luck to all of the teams today!
