Team E: Andrew Lichtenberger and Nick Schulman — 460,000
Team G: Huck Seed and Allen Cunningham — 395,000

That leaves next weekend’s semifinal teams as: Johnny Chan and Erick Lindgren, Phil Galfond and Annette Obrestad, Tony G and David Benyamine, and Phil Ivey and Chris Ferguson.
In Doubles Poker Championship, two players form a team and must play together by alternating who is in control after every stage of a hand.
