Ryder Cup of Poker

[user4144]

As we await the start of today's Omaha final, a large crowd is huddled around the feature table, goggle-eyed as Europe battle America in the Betfair Caesar Cup.

As expected, it's a rather low profile affair, with a bunch on amateurs making up either side. Representing North America are Greenstein, Ivey, Negreanu, Seed, Harman, Juanda and Hellmuth, whilst for the home continent, we have Antonius, Ziigmund, Hansen, Obrestad, Minieiri, Eastgate, ElkY and one star-struck Betfair qualifier (your reporter was cruelly overlooked).

Currently locking horns at the felt are Antonius and Ziigmund versus Ivey and Seed, located at each end of the table like a a double date between two married couples. The process is simple: they take it in turns to play a street, and by the looks of, it appears as though the Americans currently have the edge.
