Tango Poker League

Manchester’s No1 poker league Tango Poker. Had its first team event at the Cleveland.
Nine teams of four took to the tables for the bragging rights of being Tango Poker Leagues first team champions.
The first part of the game, was where every team player, played an individual table. And where you finished determined how many extra chips you brought to the Team final table
8th place 0 chips
7th place 200chips
6th place 400chips
5th place 600 chips
4th place 800 chips
3rd place 1000 chips
2nd place 2000 chips
1st place 3000 chips

This would make the final table team event very interesting; as you could potentially have a team with 6000(all 8th) sat down to a team with 18000chips (all 1st)
The seating and chip stacks where as follows

Pos 1 Team 3’ Danny’s Army’ with 12.6k chips

The rules of the team event was that each player had one time out (where he could discuss the hand with the rest off the team.)
Each team member could only play for 1 blind level, and then had to change.
That a player could not play again until all of the team had had their go.
