We're having difficulty keeping up with the substitutions. Plenty of seats have turned over at the outer tables. Team Australia seems to have rotated players at three tables, with Mel Judah taking Tony G's seat, Tony G taking David Saab's seat, and David Saab taking Steve Topakas' seat.

Team England has made several subtitutions as well. Other players who had been subtituted out at the beginning of the PLO round -- players like Maria Ho for Team China and Jen Harman for Team USA -- are milling around the rail, craning their necks to catch the action.

The current chip leader at the captains' table is Eli Elezra. "Right now," appended Johnny Chan.
