When we walked up to table Gold 14 in the Brasilia Room, Toddy Terry had already checked the flop from the small blind. The big blind had bet out 2,500 and the player under the gun had made the call. Terry announced all in and shoved his stack of about 16,000 forward. The big blind, who appeared to have about 7,000 behind, took some time but folded. The other player took about as much time, and folded as well with only a little over 5,000 behind.

Robert Cheung raised an opponent who had fired 2,375 with the board reading . His opponent called for 5,250 total, and the players watched a fall on the river, completing two of the draws. Cheung immediately moved all in after his opponent checked. The player went deep into the tank.
"Will you show me?" he asked. Cheung's only response was to continue to stare blankly into the distance.
After a couple of minutes of thought, Cheung called the clock on his opponent. About 30 seconds into his final allowed minute of consideration, the player folded, and Cheung mucked his hand and scooped the pot.
