| Date: | Nov 29, 6 PM |

Saturday marks the penultimate day for the final PPT of 2025 and, as usual, the evening side game is the Team Event. This game is nearly always more about the party and the drinking than it is about the poker, though poker does play a part in the evening.
Teams get 20k to start their game, and entries or rebuys are open for the first 9 levels of play. With 20-minute blinds, that should put the close of entries at about 9:15 PM tonight. After that, they’ll play until one team has all the chips.
Teams consist of two players, and players must swap out after each level. Each team gets 5 switch cards to start the game, and those cards can be used to either swap your own team out, or force another team at your table to switch (bear in mind, they could immediately use one of their tickets to switch back again). Switches can only be played between hands.
In September’s event, it was the team of Bredan Harder and Derek Samer who took down the game. They defeated a field of 34 teams for a top prize of $2,780, winning it over Team York, composed of brothers Skyler and Zach York.
Alek Gillies will be in the house to cover the Team game tonight.
