Ceasars CUP: Four other stars in sight
The first edition of the Ceasars Cup organized within the framework of the World Series of Poker Europe of London promises to be fascinating because it is going to welcome numerous big names of poker world. During the first announcement, we knew that the captain of Team Europe Anette Obrestad had chosen the rising stars of French poker Bertrand "Elky" Grospellier, Dario Minieri and Peter Eastgate to support the European team. As for Team America, the choice of their captain Daniel Negreanu had concerned John Juanda, Phil Hellmuth and Phil Ivey to strengthen the American armada. But recently, names of four big sizes of poker were added to the first already impressive list. The legend of poker Doyle "Dolly" Brunson and Jennifer Harman were called in turn to defend colours of the New World whereas Patrik Antonius and Ilari "Ziigmund" Sahamies will be the new recruits of the Team Europe
Apart from these four names, there are only two places for every team and one of these two places will be occupied by an online qualified player. Let us remind that Ceasears Cup will take place on September the 26th during the World Series of poker Europe (WSOPE) of London. Both teams will compete for four double consecutive contests. The winner in every match will get a point. Heads-ups will decide between the teams in case of equality. The first two double contests will be played as follows: a player will have the decisions in pre-flop and on turn whereas the second will have in charge of the flop and the river. Two other contests are going to resume only the second format with alternation of the players each two hands.
