Talk show host Montel Williams is set to play for Team USA at the PartyPoker.com Poker Nations Cup, which will play out April 7-10th in Cardiff, Wales.

Joining Williams will be captain Robert Williamson III, Jamie Gold, Chris “Jesus” Ferguson, Freddy Deeb and Chad Brown.

“I am thrilled and honored that I have been invited to be a part of Team USA for the Poker Nations Cup,” said Williams. “My teammates are extraordinary as I have played against many of them in the past year and now look forward to teaming up with them in our quest to defeat poker pros from around the globe.”

The winsome Williams has been playing poker for a number of years, going back to his old Navy days and as recently as the 2007 WSOP where he held the chip lead for an entire day.
