The greats of poker from three continents went up against one another down under at the 2013 Caesars Cup.  Ultimately, Sam Trickett’s Team Europe came up victorious.

The event took place at the World Series of Poker Asia Pacific in Melbourne, Australia.

Trickett’s team consisted of fellow Europeans Marvin Rettenmaier, Phil Gruissem, Dominik Nitsche, Sam Holden.

Team America captain Phil Ivey assembled a cast of big name players including the likes of Antonio Esfandiari, Daniel Negreanu, Greg Merson and Phil Hellmuth.
