The third day of the 2017 World Series of Poker has just wrapped up, and with it, Daniel Negreanu\u2019s first chance at his seventh career WSOP bracelet at his first final table of the summer.<\/p>\n

Brand New Event<\/h2>\n

The $10,000 Tag Team No-Limit Hold\u2019em Championship made is a brand new event and made its debut at this year\u2019s WSOP. For a first time event, it drew a respectable 102 entrants which created a prize pool of a little under $1 million.<\/p>\n

The event, which is made up of teams of 2-4 players, is played like any other no-limit Hold\u2019em tournament with a few differences. As the event name suggest, instead of every man for himself, the teams could tag in and out among the members whenever they see fit as they played with a shared stack. The only requirement is that each member of the team must play at least one round of blinds over the duration of the tournament, otherwise, the team would be disqualified. Another difference compared to normal no-limit Hold\u2019em tournament is the lack of breaks. Instead, players will simply tag in a partner, so in essence, can have a break while they\u2019re not in active play.<\/p>\n

The Final Table<\/h2>\n

The official final table consisted of 9 teams, made up of 23 players, all vying for the $273,964 top price. After a few eliminations, day 2 of the event ended with the final six teams to head into day 3.<\/p>\n

Negreanu made it to the final table of the $10,000 Tag Team No-Limit Hold\u2019em Championship along with 3 of his team mates, Eric Wasserson, David Benyamine, and Mark Gregorich. Not only did his team have the most combined bracelets, thanks in large part to Negreanu\u2019s 6 career bracelets, they also entered the final table as the chip leaders with nearly 1.5 million in chips.<\/p>\n

The other teams at the final table were:<\/p>\n
