Poker Nations Cup is Channel 4's and PartyPoker's innovative team poker tournament, in which top international players pursue not simply personal glory and reward but also the honour of playing for their country.
Each team consists of 6 players, 5 professionals and 1 online player. Over 6 heats, each player competes once to score points for their team. All 6 teams then compete in a 'tag' final where the captains make tactical substitutions and call strategic Time Outs. The team that prevails wins the first prize of $100,000 and the coveted Poker Nations Cup trophy.

1st place – 16 points
2nd place – 11 points
