Following on from a successful beginning the 2016 Global Poker Index World Cup will return with an increase to 12 teams, a group system, and the introduction of The Cube.

When I was 10-years old, my Uncle Alan lived with me. I loved my Uncle Alan. We always played games.

We never had much money. We couldn’t afford a game console. Instead, my Uncle and I would copy all of the world’s national football teams from the Rothmans Football Yearbook onto pieces of paper, cut them out with scissors, scrunch them up and then draw them out of a bowl into World Cup Groups. We would then roll dice to determine the scores. We wrote every match, and World Cup into a notepad.

It was epic.
