Team Canada's Andrew Chen just played two hands very tightly and that might indicate the team will aim to score a few min-cashes in order to at least not drop down the standings. While Team Canada currently sits in fifth place with 38,000 points they are only 1,000 ahead of France and 2,000 ahead of Ukraine.
Team Canada, France and Ukraine will be even tighter against Team United Kingdom, because they Brits are at the bottom of the ranks and losing chips to them will have very big implications. Team UK will need to win lots of chips in order to jump out of last place.
On a flop of 
Dan Smith check raised Oleksii Khoroshenin's 425 bet to 1,900 from the big blind, if we heard Jack Salter explain the hand to Gruissem correctly. Khoroshenin, seated under the gun, made the call.
The fell on the turn and Dan Smith bet 2,600. Khoroshenin now shoved all in for 12,600. After the counting was done, Smith's 30-second shot clock started ticking.
Tick, tock, tick, tock
Smith couldn't make up his mind.
Tick, tock, tick, tock
Dealer: "Five seconds"
Tick, tock, tick, tock
Smith: "Time!"
Smith got an extra minute of time, using his time out to grasp the hand.
Tick, tock, tick, tock
With just seconds to go in his extra minute, he folded. Khoroshenin received the chips in the pot and mucked.
Things are looking extremely grim for Team United Kingdom, who are currently in last place, and on top of that they have zero fifth place finishes. The top four at every table gets points, and the UK has never even bubbled the points.
Two players have managed to finish on the bubble twice, Eugene Katchalov for Ukraine and Dario Sammartino for Italy.
Both France and Italy have had a player finish on the bubble four times during the first four heats.
Team UK are in a bit of a pickle; cut adrift at the bottom of the league table and in need of a big scoring round. Look a little deeper though and it's not all doom and gloom.
Just one heat ago, most people surrounding the competition were saying the same thing about Ukraine as w'ere all saying about the UK now. Two wins and a second later they're rejuvenated. Then if you look at the table draw to the last heat, you'll notice that the UK have direction position on the two teams they're trying to catch, France and Ukraine.
A lot of scenarios could arise where there's an opportunity to gain easy chips. Canada and Russia - being mid table teams - will probably play tight and stay out of trouble. Italy are always a little crazy and have an outside chance of claiming top spot, so could play even more aggressively and be exploitable.
Then there's the battle between the USA and Germany for top spot. Germany really want to win so they can have the morning off and give players like Marvin Retennmaier a rest after his long trip from San Francisco. A last point is that a member of the USA team and one from Germany have just bet €5,000 on which team will finish out on top tonight.
To conclude: If the UK can utilise the position they have and be first to take advantage of any spots the above factors might throw up, they have a chance.
