Approximately one month ago, 888poker announced a World Series of Poker promotion known as The 8-Team where five qualifiers would join five team captains and five wingmen in the battle for a 2018 World Series of Poker Main Event package.
The team captains were revealed at the launch of the promotion and they are:
- Team U.K - Chris Moorman
- Team Brazil - Bruno “Foster” Politano
- Team Canada - Parker “Tonkaaaa” Talbot
- Team Sweden - Sofia Lovgren
- Team Germany - Dominik Nitsche
While the team captains were who the majority of the online poker world expected, as they are all ambassadors of 888poker, the choice of wingmen may raise a few eyebrows.
