The atypical Tag Team Event #57 is still running with 48 players left. In this tournament you can set up teams of 2 to 4 players. The fun comes from the fact that players may tag a teammate anytime he/she is not in an active hand.
Also, the famous $50,000 Poker Players Championship Event #58 has 2/3 of its field remaining. Notables who lost, not in particular order: Stephen Chidwick, Matt Glantz, Scott Seiver, Michael Mizrachi, Julien Martini, Gus Hansen and Daniel Negreanu.
That’s all to digest for today, come back tomorrow for another course!
