Team Brazil has produced (from where, we know not) some sort of tiny, stringed, guitar-like instrument. They used it to cheer on teammate Leandro Pimentel, who just took down a pot from Kido Pham. Pham called for assistance from team captain Men Nguyen.
"The Master is here," said Nguyen as he strode to the table. The two conferred briefly before Pham folded the hand. Men then returned to the rail with the rest of Team Vietnam, which is chowing down on some pizza.
Games and limits are up. The game is now PLO. Blinds are 600 and 1,200. The entire table has changed over. Now sitting at the table are: Leandro Pimentel, Gary Benson, David Chiu, Kido Pham and Alex Zervos.
Jeff Lisandro, a co-captain of Team Australia, has won the first two pots of the final table. That has gotten a spring in Tony G's step. He just clapped and led the Aussie contingent in a rousing rendition of what we'll call the "oi" chant.
Following that, Jeff Lisandro dragged another pot. The Australians are on the move.
Here's how the five teams are seated around the final table, with their chip counts:
Seat 1: Team Brazil (45,350)
Seat 2: Team Australia (34,650)
Seat 3: Team China (142,550)
Seat 4: Team Vietnam (75,650)
Seat 5: Team Greece (101,800)
Starting at the table for each team, in order, are Christian Kruel, Jeff Lisandro, Maria Ho, Karina Jett and George Theofanopoulos.
Cards are in the air. The game is limit hold'em.
At long last, final table introductions are being made. Team Australia is first in. We're very, very close to resuming play.
The tournament is (again) on a break. This one is supposed to be fifteen minutes and will allow the tournament staff to set up the final table. Five countries will be reprsented:
China
Greece
Vietnam
Brazil
Australia
We'll try to get the exact chip counts when they're available.
The last stand of the United States was made by Jen Harman. She got the USA's stack in with 
after flopping two pair, 
. Team Vietnam had a flush draw, which promptly filled when the turn fell 
. That left Team USA looking for a river four-outer to stave off elimination. It didn't come. The river was the 
, ending the USA's hopes of putting anyone at the final table. Vietnam and Greece will each add to their final-table chip stacks.
All three of the Teams on the last table have susbtituted players again. Howard Lederer is playing Team USA's stack; Greece is represented by co-captain George Theofanopoulos; and even Team Vietnam has taken a very tired-looking Men Nguyen of the table.
Substitution time for Team USA in the last match. With Team USA riding the short stack, Chris Ferguson has taken over for Phil Hellmuth. He's battling the team captain for Vietnam, Men Nguyen, and one of the Team Greece co-captains, Stavros Kalfas.
Outer Table 3 is over. The short-stacked Team Brazil moved all in pre-flop with 
. Team China called with 
. That ace was enough to take down the pot after both teams whiffed on the board.
Team China will now start with a triple stack at the final table, having put three players through. Team Greece will have a double stack.
One match remains. The fate of Team USA rests in Phil Hellmuth's hands.
