The Tag Team tournament has been running since 11am this morning, meaning the final 8 teams are approaching their 15th hour of play for the day!

Fatigue has definitely made its appearance clear with many of the players still in action, however determination seems to be overriding it. Talks of chop have come up a few times, but a few of the teams are set to play the tournament until completion, so play continues!

Team Fee and Team Chaykowski share the lead with 8 teams left, as they both hold roughly 2,350,000 in chips.

Team Belzile was just eliminated from this final table, as they ran their into the of Team Chaykowski in a betting war preflop.

9th place: Team Belzile – $1,170.00

The Tag Team event has reached the final table, and 9 teams remain in battle for the $11,000 first prize. Leading the way is Team Fee and their 2,200,000 betting units. Close behind is Team Israel, who holds roughly 1,650,000 in chips.

Here are the final 9 teams:

Team | Équipe	Seat | Siège
Team Chaykowski	Seat 1
Team Fee	Seat 2
Team Aristeo	Seat 3
Team Fred Belanger	Seat 4
Team Isreal	Seat 5
Team Belzile	Seat 6
Team Betournay	Seat 7
Team Lapointe	Seat 8
Team Gunther	Seat 9

We are but one elimination away from our 9-handed final table.

A new chipleader has emerged late in this Tag Team event, as Team Fee now sits on a stack north of 1.75 million with 2 tables remaining.

We missed the exact action of how this happened, however we know that Team Fee scored a big double-up after winning with QQ versus the A9 of Team Dionne in an all-in preflop situation.

Here are the final two 8-handed tables:

Team | Équipe	Seat | Siège
Team Chaykowski	Seat 1
Team Fee	Seat 2
Team Aristeo	Seat 3
Team Fred Belanger	Seat 4
Team Isreal	Seat 5
Team Belzile	Seat 6
Team Betournay	Seat 7
Team Lapointe	Seat 8
Team Gunther	Seat 9
