More action from the 2022 World Series of Poker
The team of Patrick Leonard and Espen Jørstad won the $1,000 TAG Team No Limit Hold'em event on Wednesday night overcoming a 6:1 chip disadvantage to win their first WSOP bracelets and a combined prize of $148,067. It was both players first bracelets.

In post-match comments, Patrick Leonard noted that the fact the pair split their play evenly over the four days was very beneficial.
“A lot of people had played solo for the last few days. Some had played four days by themselves, whereas we've probably played about 50:50. We were fresh and taking hours in, hours out, and when I was out I was studying and I knew what to do coming in, so that was our biggest advantage.”
