Mercier moved up to 20,000 without needed to sweat a turn or river.
The board read when we walked up to the pot and Tom Dwan had moved all of his chips in the middle against Yevgeniy Timoshenko.
Timoshenko went in the tank and as he was thinking, Dwan sat there stone-like. Finally Timoshenko asked, "Can I see the river?"
Annie Duke looked up from the game she was playing on her phone and said, "No."
"Are you sure," Timoshenko asked. "Yes, you can call the floor." Timoshenko folded his hand and Dwan started stacking his chips, when Timoshenko looked through the deck that the dealer had placed on his left.
Kevin Schaffel raised preflop, and Mike Matusow three-bet to 4,100. Schaffel called, and they went heads up to a flop. Schaffel checked, and Matusow checked behind. After the on the turn, Kevin bet 6,000, and Matusow made the call. Schaffel made another big bet - 15,000 - after the river fell the . Matusow took a solid four minutes to slide the calling chips across the line. When he did, Schaffel tabled for a rivered two pair. Matusow was livid that Schaffel had rivered him, but there was nothing he could do but splutter. Schaffel is up to 88,000 while the Mouth fell to 38,000.
