The Third Edition Of Dream Team Poker
Added to this year's WSOP schedule, the third edition of the Dream Team Poker tournament attracted 366 players on Day 1. Many top pros such as Barry Greenstein and Daniel Negreanu were not missing.
"After seeing the terrific response to the recent Dream Team Poker tournaments in Las Vegas, we thought a team-based event would be a fun addition to the end of the WSOP."
A fun event indeed, especially when likes of Daniel Negreanu, Gavin Smith, Barry Greenstein and Dennis Phillips join the tables. Unfortunately, both Greenstein and Smith couldn't make it through Day 1, same as Justin Bonomo, David Williams, Evelyn Ng, Jerry Yang (pictured left), T.J. Cloutier, Men Nguyen and many more pros.
Only 27 players representing 26 teams secured their tickets for Day 2, with Tao Of Pokerati being the lonely team with 2 players still running. The tournament's individual winner will receive $16,473 and the top overall team will be awarded $33,017. To make every team's chances fair, no team members are seated at the same table until the field is down to 14 to 16 players.
