It claims to be the first professional "sports" league of poker in the world. The championship was officially launched on Wednesday the 5th August, in Bicycle Casino of Los Angeles. The final structure of the league is still to be determined but we already know that it will include 32 teams of 5 players which are going to represent countries in the four corners of the world. World Team Poker has already chosen the captains of teams among the cream of the game. These captains are going to select their team-mates. As example, the American team will be taken by Phil Hellmuth, the man with 11 WSOP bracelets and at the same time record holder of victories in this championship.
