They say you’ve got to know when to hold ‘em and know when to fold ‘em, and at Gambler Days this past weekend, the Carolina Cowboys showed that they’re still the winning hand. Plus, the Texas Rattlers got back at the Austin Gamblers, upsets were aplenty, and more. Miss a moment of the action this weekend? Here’s what happened around the PBR.

On the PBR Team Series…
