I don't really know where to post this question, so I'll just assume post it here. Does anyone know the history of the Mixed Doubles event at the World Series of Poker. How many people played in these events? Why did they stop having these events?
I came across this when looking at the Sklansky record here (http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=460).
There was some more information on what Mixed Doubles is here (http://www.poker1.com/absolutenm/templates/mculib_articles.aspx?articleid=129&zoneid=3), which also inclues THE ULTIMATE STRATEGY.
basically the game is:

the tournaments are comprised of two forms of poker, like seven-card stud and hold 'em. One form is played for, say, 30 minutes and then the other is played for the same amount of time at approximately the same betting limits. Then the limits go up, just as they do in a regular tournament where the chips are controlled by a single player. One player is designated to play seven-card stud; the other to play hold 'em. Each of the partners (one man, one woman) is required to play the same game throughout the tournament. [And each of the partners share the same stack].
