Brazil has won the first Americas Cup of Poker by beating a team from Argentina, the host nation, in an exciting final last Saturday night.
The competition features players from sixteen nations battle it out in order to reach a live final which had $250,000 of prize money up for grabs which included the $100,000 for the winning team.
PokerStars.Com held daily freerolls and qualifiers with entry starting as low as 20 cents in order to decide who would be on the six member teams. To win a place, competitors had to earn points by finishing in the top 100 during any of the online poker site’s ongoing first round qualifying events. The people who finished in the top five from each country were then invited to play for their nation’s team along with a professional player.
The finals were held at Argentina’s Cerro Catedral Ski Resort. The exciting matches saw Brazil’s Alexandre Gomes beat Costa Rica’s Humberto Brenes which lead to a game against Argentina who had previously beat Canada in their set of six heads up battles.
At the same time as the poker game was taking place the two countries were facing each other on the football pitch in a World Cup qualifier and the two games ended with the same results. In the poker Argentina’s Leo Fernandez’s ace nine was not good enough to beat Brazil’s king eight and the Brazilian team won the Americas cup title.
However, the Argentinean team will share $60,000 in prize money and the third place nation will share $30,000. Fourth place takes $20,000 and fifth through eighth place take $10,000 each.
