We had another break in there for about ten minutes. Now the blinds are up to 150 and 300 and the game has switched to PLO. Previously that was heralded by a "sexy" referee with a dry-erase board. I didn't see one of those this time around.

Gary Benson has subbed into the lone Team Australia spot for the PLO round.

At one of the other outer tables, Team China out-flopped Team Greece, making kings and eights against Team Greece's pocket aces. Kings and eights held up for Team China to give them a strong double-up.
