The $50,000 buy-in event series began with 32 players being randomly put into 16 two-player teams. In the doubles format, players have to alternate who is in control after every step of the hand. They are only able to discuss the hand with their teammate if they call a 30-second timeout.

Teams were eliminated throughout the season, and now only four teams remain to compete in Saturday’s finals. They are:

Team Starting Stack
Allen Cunningham and Huck Seed 600,000
David Benyamine and Tony G 600,000
Howard Lederer and Phil Gordon 400,000
Phil Ivey and Chris Ferguson 400,000

The finals will air this Saturday at 9 p.m. ET on GSN. For more information visit. www.gsn.com.
