One of the fun elements in the Tag Team event is the ability to consult with your partner during a hand. Whether it’s to confirm a call, get instructions about the line to take in a hand, or to ask for advice on how to extract value in a particular spot, consultations really add to the team aspect of the event.
A typical example of team consultations just occurred on table 27. There was an under the gun raise to 5.5K followed by a 3b from utg+1 to 12.5K. Two seats over, Patrice Ravary threw in a consultation chip and his partner was called.
When the consultation was over, Patrice returned to the table and chose to 4b-shove his covering stack. The blinds both got out of the hand, as did Shawn, the initial raiser – and then action was back on Team Chartier – and it was time for another consultation. Eventually, they made the call.

Unfortunately (for them), in this case the board conspired against Team Chartier: 
and Team Ravary scooped a huge pot to take them over 250K.
Here are some other photos of the recent action.
