James Bord created quite a lot of noise when he said an American wont win the WSOPE.

Well the Caesars cup will bring to light some of this rivalry and showcase whihc side of the pond is the strongest.

I would favour the European team looking at the line ups.

So, this is basically a "where are you from?" poll.

Looks like Negreanu is firing bets on this. From twitter

TeamMatchBook Matchbook
Daniel Negreanu just confirmed 25k euro bet @ 2.05 (+105) on Team North America at Caesars Cup Cannes. Good luck to him! @Realkidpoker

Live betting at Matchbook.com it looks like. Euro donk's are fav's at the moment.

seems like another bet has been struck;

From Jesse Mays live blog on thepokerfarm;

2:58 Bet has been struck! Daniel Negreanu betting 25k euros on Team USA’s at 2.05 on Matchbook. That’s 21/20 for the Europeans, and +105 for Americans. Game on!!

Anyone know how many USA players are left in the main?

Matchbook lost 100k to Tony G. Could lose more if team North American wins and I think they had a promo if an American wins the main they give out a refund or free bet or something.

Would love to see Bord give back all last years first prize money because he is so anti-American.

that

pls add change title "to who would you like to win the Ceasars cup"and add a i can't pronounce myself" cause skill is not the main factor in HU live poker esp with Ceasars cup structure or format :
players should all play against eachothers in a slow stucture HU game with players taking decisions by themselves and playing at least a 8 games format so forget about the poker's Rider Cup and please create a decent Euro US tourney not that parody made for TV

Europe gonna win :-)

Latest from the blog:

"I can't get over the fact that Hellmuth decided to send Chan in last, if it should get to the tiebreaker. Call me crazy. But he could easily have defended sending himself in last because he’s Phil Hellmuth, he’s the captain. And he could easily have sent Daniel in last because he’s got the biggest bet on the match. But what possible reason could Hellmuth have for wanting to let the fate of Team USA rest on Johnny Chan playing heads up? The only thing I can think is that Hellmuth decided he didn’t want to send himself last because of the amount of ribbing he’d get if he lost, and he didn’t want to send Daniel in last because they are so competitive with each other and doesn’t want Daniel to get credit for saving Team America if it comes to that. Please tell me I’m wrong."

And then

"It’s happened. This is TV history. Daniel was walking out shaking his head, but laughing at the same time. It’s not that Hellmuth managed to lose a match. It’s how it happened. Everybody is now sure that Europe are favorites. It’s nothing against Johnny Chan. But why is he the guy that has to play Elky off a 40 bb stack?"

congrats team America. From Jesse's blog

'Here we go, Caesars Cup. Phil limp traps with the Q-T off suit on the button. Snap calls the shove. Max has K-9 suited and can’t believe he’s ahead. And Team USA wins the Caesar’s Cup.'

I don't understand why the Europe team was favored when #whenwillitend and #runlikebenba are on the American team.. They didn't become a topic# for no reason.

"Look at them overthere. All I can say is that at least Hellmuth won something this year,"

Tony G's hilarious
