In the early stages of a televised final table, the edge goes to the older pros since they have more experience playing under these unusual circumstances. However, with the elimination of Patrick Bruel, the most experienced player headed to the rail. Mark Teltscher took him out and gained a decisive edge by becoming the most experienced player at the table.. and thereby becoming the "table captain." He's been the most chatty out of anyone else at the table and does not appear to be rattled by the extra pressure of playing at a TV table.
