Our RPT Blackpool weekend kicked off with our first ever tag team event as 57 teams competed for FOUR World League Poker Championship (WLPC) packages. The format was kept simple with each player from each team playing 1 level each until there were only two teams left standing.

The current UK Pub Poker Champion, Mikey Knight (with partner James Wright) played like a champion throughout going into the final table with the third largest chip stack but they were unlucky not to qualify for another Redtooth Vegas trip as they unfortunately bubbled the WLPC seats in 3rd place. Good form shown by the champ nonetheless.

A prize was also awarded for the events best team name. The winning name, chosen by Tania the card room manager, was Plump & Plumper made up by Hugh O’Donnell & Michael Breed.

This tag team event proved a great warm up for the main event the next day where 150 players were due to battle for the latest VEGAS100 seat.
