Event #10: $1,000 Tag Team No-Limit Hold'em drew 843 runners and 94 teams will return Tuesday at noon to continue their battle. All remaining teams are in the money as the top 127 teams will get paid, sharing pieces of the $758,700 prize pool. John Hulett captains the leading team that will start Day 2 with the biggest stack in the tournament room. Hulett, accompanied by Deepinder Singh bagged up 146,000 today.
Singh was the key player of this team. He had a tough table draw, with former November Niner Jesse Sylvia to his left. But he dealt with it the best possible way, seizing most of Sylvia's chips in one of the biggest pots we saw today. Four-ways to a queen-high flop with two spades, Singh bet out and Sylvia was his only caller. Singh then barreled on the entertaining turn card - a king of diamonds that brought a second flush draw on the board. Sylvia tank-called and the river bricked. Singh pulled the trigger and moved all-in. Sylvia couldn't find a way out of this hand as he had flopped a top pair along with a flush draw and improved to top two pair on the turn. But it wasn't enough for him as Singh showed a set of queens to scoop the giant pot and vault over 100,000 in chips.
There were other contenders for the overnight chip lead. During the last level, it looked to be Brian Yoon pacing the field. He knocked out Russell Thomas, who played in a team with his wife Kitty Kuo and Saya Ono, who was paired with Ryan McNeel. Yoon eventually sealed 130,400 in his bag, putting himself and his teammate Michael Gagliano in good shape for Day 2. The top five also includes Team Hughes, led by Ryan Hughes (125,400), Kiryl Radzivonau - Mikhail Semin (116,000) and Ben Yu - Jacob Wilson (115,600). Team Shulman, captained by two-time bracelet winner Barry Shulman, also reported a six-figure chip count (109,000).
Among notable teams coming back for Day 2 are lineups such as Charalampos Lappas - Georgios Zisimopoulos (71,600), son and dad Brian Pinkus - Michael Pinkus (71,600), Maria Ho - Fedor Holz - Rainer Kempe - Philipp Zukernik (42,100), Andy Bloch - Howard Lederer - Chris Ferguson (23,000), Nick Yunis - Nacho Barbero (19,900) and Thomas Miller - Matthew Wakeman (18,900).
Unfortunately, we won't see some of the unique poker combos anymore as many star-studded teams failed to make it through. Those include Matt Glantz - Michael Mizrachi - Robert Mizrachi - Todd Brunson, a dream team that lost its hopes at the end of the day, with Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi at helm. Jason Wheeler - Tim Reilly - Nicholas Palma are also out and so are Ari Engel - Nachman Berlin, Thomas Muehloecker - Ana Marquez, Steven van Zadelhoff - Kenny Hallaert - Kristen Bicknell - Benny Glaser, and Jason Mercier - Natasha Mercier - Felipe Ramos.
This tournament will also crown a new champion as Doug Polk and Ryan Fee busted in 127th place, right after the bubble burst. Polk and Fee were teamed with Blair Miller and Steven Peller this time.
The 94 remaining teams are guaranteed to earn at least $1,562. Play will resume at 12 p.m. and PokerNews will be once again on the ground to provide live reporting from your couch.
