Get Ready for FPN Tag Team Championship at Golden Nugget
PokerNews coverage of the 2025 Free Poker Network (FPN) Desert Dash-for-Cash National Championship at Las Vegas' Golden Nugget continues today with the $200 Tag Team Championship.
Each contestant will put up $100 as duos will face off in the Nugget ballroom starting at 5 p.m. local time.
The event will see each team beginning with a 20,000 starting stack and late entry open through Level 6. The final table will also pay out $2,500 in cash.
The teams that make the final table will advance to Sunday's Desert Dash-For-Cash Championship Main Event, where participants will spar for a piece of the $100,000 cash prize and $10,000 in Mystery Bounties.
Last year, Phil Wilburn and Darren Sneed of Mr. G's & Joe's Older Than Dirt (KY) won the event for $1,500, while Team PokerNews finished in 6th place represented by Chad Holloway and Connor Richards. Sneed is off to a hot start this year and finished second in Thursday's WPT Passport event.
