Outer Table 2 the First to Finish

I wish I could tell you what just happened on Outer Table 2. On the last hand of Pot-Limit Omaha, Team USA was all in against Team Brazil. We didn't catch the cards or the board, but Team Brazil was crowded around their man, Leandro "Brasa" Pimentel, for the river. They shouted triumphantly when it hit, with Pimentel thrusting a fist in the air and shouting, "BRAZIL!" Team USA, represented by Howard Lederer, shook hands with Team Brazil and retired to the rail.

The elimination of Team USA from Outer Table 2 brought that table down to just two teams: Brazil and, improbably, Australia! Australia is through to the final table after 4/5 of the team was eliminated in early play.
