The new Aced.com Dream team headed up by Jaime Gold won a huge tournament this Sunday at Caesars Palace. It was the second running of the new type format poker tournament, the first for which registration was not restricted to invitees. Team Aced, consisting of 2006 world series of poker Main Event champion Jamie Gold, Ashley Nataupsky, and Houston Waldie, claimed first prize in the team category, with Danny Nelson of Team BikerHaven.net claiming top individual honors.
A total of 148 three-player teams entered the two-day event, meaning there were 444 players altogether. The entry fee was $550 per player, or $1,650 for each team. A portion of the prize pool was set aside for individual players, with the top 25 finishers cashing. The rest was reserved for the top seven three-player teams.
Finishing behind Team Aced were the Claddaghs (second, $33,300), the Clones (third, $15,984), Party at the Mansion ($10,656), and the Hellmuth Busters ($6,660). On the individual side, Nelson defeated Philip Rousseux (of the Claddaghs) heads up, with Rousseaux taking $13,320 for finishing second. Jerry Percival (of Team Runner Runner) finished third ($7,922), Natupsky took $6,666 for her fourth-place finish, and John Regis (of Poker Masters) was eliminated in fifth ($5,328).
