World Team Poker is a new concept that will field teams of five players chosen by country captains. The country teams will play each other in heads up matches of various forms of poker. Captains include Phil Hellmuth (USA), Men "The Master" Nguyen (Vietnam), and Johnny Chan (China). The first event, Vietnam vs. USA, is planned for November in Las Vegas, and they plan to stream it live over the internet.
