The highly anticipated event has a prize pool of $280,000 ($100,000 added by PartyPoker.com) with five players from each team paying $5,000 to play and the sixth qualifying via PartyPoker.
Each player played once over six heats before competing in a ‘tag team’ final where the captain can make strategic substitutions. The final table chip counts are based on the points accumulated by the team in the heats.
