Chile and Mexico qualify for Americas Cup of Poker final


Either Chile or Mexico will be crowned Americas Cup of Poker winners within hours. Their reward will be $32,500 and the pride that comes with representing your country to the fullest. For the rest, it's time to hit the exit, share a few drinks and reflect on what might have been. At least they'll be doing it with some extra change in their pockets.

Semi-Final:
Chile 3-0 Colombia
Mexico 3-0 Peru

Fifth place play-off:
Brazil 3-1 Argentina
