While the 2009 WSOP Main Event pushes forward, the Dream Team Poker tournament rages on in the Brasilia Room at the Rio with three tables in play. It is an exciting event to watch, especially when friends capture the team prize!
Big congrats to Team Tao of Pokerati, which just found out that their team took down the first place team honors! Lana, Pauly, and Dan will split the $33,017 cashola for outperforming every other team in the tournament (there were 122 of them), and the guys are still in it to win it individually as well. About 20 players remain…
UPDATE: Looks like Dan cashed in 17th place for double his individual buy-in. Congrats! @Pokerati just twittered… \”17th place individual. 1st place team. This cashout cage area is pretty cool!\”
UPDATE 2: Pauly finished in 13th place for nearly three times his buy-in. Per his twitter… \”out in 13th place. my A7 lost to kenna james\’ 6-6. boooooo!\”
Congrats to the team on a great showing!
