World Cup of Poker
Anybody playing or played in the World Cup of Poker in Poker Stars?
I think it's a really cool idea to represent your country playing poker. Just wondering if some trouts were in their National Teams. |

Re: World Cup of Poker
There were 40 teams in 8 groups with 5 teams each. All the games are NL Holdem heads up.The 40 teams are listed here
2 teams per group advanced to the round of 16. Interestingly, USA had 4 teams, USA, USA Cal, USA Ore, and USA Geo. And just one of these 4 teams advanced; USA Geo, and was eliminated by England in the round of 16. Team USA has Teecoy, TheBeat and David Williams in the team and couldn't get 1 of the top 2 spots in a group of 5 !! As this writing the situation looks like this, with 3 teams (Scotland, Mexico and England) already in the quarter finals. |

Re: World Cup of Poker
I represented Israel. We have lost to Lithuania (2:3), Hungary (2:3) and TeamUsa (1:4), but beat Norway (3:2) in the Round-robin. 1:3 wasn't good enough, so we didn't make it to the round of 16 stage.
Personally, I won 3 out my 4 HU games, which was the best result in our team, but it didn't help us so much unfortunately. It's tough when poker becomes a "team" sport... |

Re: World Cup of Poker
Yes, praying, we won group H (Denmark,Scotland,Ireland,Canada-2 and Mexico)
I'm 5-0 so far in my HU matches, we need to win 1 more game to go to the semis in London. So, hopefully we beat the Scotts next Sunday; we already did it in the 1st round, but it was close (3-2). So far a very nice experience. David |

Re: World Cup of Poker
The tourney has been good fun so far. I am representing Scotland and am looking forward to a tough game v Mexico on Sunday for a trip to London. We finished 2nd in the group behind Mexico.

Re: World Cup of Poker
Hi there Sirio,
Personally I'm looking forward to our rematch on Sunday, when hopefully I will halt your glorious winning streak. Otherwise, been an intersting comp, as the team aspect certainly puts an extra element of excitement into it. There have been a lot of good players in it as well. And of course it's great to get to represent your country at anything. See you on Sunday Diamond Dave |

Hey Dave, don't forget to mention that Scotland are already world champions at Elephant Polo.
