Team Game for Saturday Night

Saturday marks the penultimate day for the final PPT of 2025 and, as usual, the evening side game is the Team Event. This game is nearly always more about the party and the drinking than it is about the poker, though poker does play a part in the evening.

Alek Gillies will be on the floor to cover this one tonight while I focus on 1b of Main Event and get a relatively early evening so I can be fresh for Day 2 of the Main on Sunday.
