If Team BLUFF is going to repeat as Dream Team Poker champions they’ll certainly have their work cut out for them. The first Dream Team Poker event open to the public begins Saturday, March 28th and tournament organizers announced Monday that the event is a sell-out.

The unique format calls for teams of three players to compete as individuals as they would in any normal poker tournament. Teams are awarded points based on the individual finishing position of each player. To win a tournament a team doesn’t need to have the overall champion.

At their inaugural event in November Team BLUFF, featuring poker pro Justin Bonomo, BLUFF Publisher Eric Morris and BLUFF Editor-in-Chief Matt Parvis took home the title and the $40,000 first place prize money. Bonomo recorded an eighth place finish and Morris would up sixth. The point totals from those two players were enough to put Team BLUFF at the top of the leaderboard.

The field for this upcoming event features some of the top names in the poker world. Phil Hellmuth, Mike Matusow, T.J. Cloutier, Paul Wasicka, Jeff Madsen and Kenny Tran are just a few of the players who will be looking to take down the title.

“This certainly isn’t going to be easy,” joked Morris. “We’re looking forward to the experience provided by Dream Team. The event last time was first class all the way and we have every indication this event will be even better.”

The event, being held at Caesars Palace, will have a field of 170 teams and 510 players.

“The overwhelming interest from top poker pros to participate in a non-televised, five-hundred dollar game proves that the Dream Team Poker concept provides a needed, new experience to players,” said Daniel Delshad, CEO of Dream Team Gaming. “With team registrations coming in from all over the United States and internationally, I look forward to watching the battle for best team in poker.”
