They say that internet players are loose and fast and perhaps thats a reflection of the rapid pace of play during the first twenty hands. With four eliminations (in the first 18 hands), half of the final table has been wiped out.
The real battle begins. Mark Teltscher can smell another EPT championship on the horizon. He has a lot of work ahead of him and must catch up to the chipleader, Greg Dyer, while fending off Mika Paasonen who has been gaining momentum ever since the final table began.

The Final Table
The action during the first ten hands of a final TV table usually features a lot of tentative play. For most of the players, this is the first time they are playing under the hot and bright lights and with a crowd watching their every mood. Some players can adjust while others are caught up in a wave an anxiety and nervousness.
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.
