A hectic Day 2 of poker in Event #66: $1,000 Tag Team at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas finally ended more than 12 hours after play began, following a lengthy delay because a player inadvertently took chips that didn't belong to him when a table broke.
After that issue was settled, the last few hands were played, and 27 teams remain in the hunt for the tournament championship, the first-place cut of $184,769 from a $1,210,000 prize pool, and, of course, the coveted gold bracelet.
One team to watch is Team Brewer, (Christine Brewer and Orson Young), which is third in chips heading into the final day with 1,800,000. Young is fresh off a fourth-place finish in the $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em event.
Tomas Szwarcberg and Sebastien Hetzel hold the overall chip lead with 2,300,000 chips, just ahead of Ryan Franklin - Micahel Zulker (2,100,000).

Young Tagged In
Young was unable to play Day 1 because he was a little busy final tabling another event, so Brewer ran the show. She more than held her own, building a top-20 chip stack to put Team Brewer in position.
Young took the baton on Day 2 and has the team in the hunt for a bracelet. He has made three final tables at the World Series of Poker, but is seeking his first live bracelet to go with one he won online a year ago.

The Bracelet Hunt
There were 269 teams at the start of the day, and there are many worthy challengers still in the mix, including Team Zewe (sixth place), which is comprised of Jennifer Zewe, who has been very successful in circuit events, winning three rings, and Vincent Moscati, who has won 10 circuit rings.
Team Singh, Karanvir Singh and Tony Miles, is lurking just outside the top 10. Miles was runner-up in the 2018 Main Event and has two other final tables at the WSOP on his resume. Singh has some run-deep experience as well, having advanced to the final table of six circuit events in the last year and a half.
Day 3, which begins at noon Friday with blinds at 15,000/30,000 and a 30,000 big blind ante, stands to be a hotly contested affair.
