Forty players from eight countries took the felt in this five-table double shootout team tournament. They did that at 1:30pm yesterday afternoon. 19 hours later, we finally have our winner -- Team China, a team consisting of David Chiu, Johnny Chan, Chau Giang, Winfred Yu, Rich Zhu, Derek Cheung and Maria Ho. They were the last team standing after a marathon kick-off even for World Team Poker.

Team China will take home $300,000 for the win and Team Brazil will get a consolation prize of $100,000.

That about does it for the PokerNews Live Reporting team from the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas, Nevada. Be sure to follow along with all of the action being reported by our colleagues at APPT Macau, which will enter Day 2 action later today. And definitely join us next week, when PokerNews kicks off its wall-to-wall coverage of the 2010 World Series of Poker.

Until then, you can find us at the bar.
