It's Merda
From the cutoff seat, David Tuthill raised to 2,600. Current Day 1b chip leader Igor Merda called out of the big blind, and the 
flop came down. Merda checked, Tuthill bet 3,300, and Merda called.
The turn was the 
, and Merda checked again. Tuthill fired 5,300 this time, but Merda stuck around to see the river. Lastly, the 
completed the board, and both players checked.
There was a bit of confusion as to who was to show first. Eventually, Merda showed his hand — the 
— for a pair of sevens. Tuthill mucked, and Merda won the pot.
After the hand, there was a bit of discussion between the players and the tournament staff as to what the rule is here for who has to show first on the river following action being checked down. The tournament staff said they are following standard TDA rules, minus the "first card off the deck" rule, and that the player to the left of the button must show first.
