Decades ago there were some team events at the World Series of Poker, but nowadays the game is individualistic in nature. Still, while everyone is ultimately out for him or herself, that doesn't mean teammates don't exist. Case in point Hoyt Corkins and Ted Leahy, two of the final 29 players remaining in Event #28: Monster Stack $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em, a tournament that attracted 7,192 players and created a prize pool of $9,702,000.
The duo, who are both members of Team Blue Shark Optics (Team BSO), the official poker eyewear company of the WSOP, were just two of 272 players who returned for Day 3 action.
