The crowd exploded with various shoutings.
River: a sad as if to mock Negreanu
Shulman enjoys a full double-up and is now in possession of three quarters of the chips in play. Negreanu meanwhile is left with, obviously, one quarter.

Cheering on the casino floor as Negreanu picks up another pot -- he turned over on the river of a board to pick another small but perfectly formed pot.

Hands are rocketing past at speed which would be surprising online. So frequent are the flops-to-rivers checkdowns, or check most of the way and then bet-fold, that it's hard to get them down in order or pick the most interesting ones.
For example, Barry Shulman just check-raised 250k on a flop, called by Negreanu. They both checked the turn, but Negreanu folded to a bet out by Shulman on the river.
This hand took about as much time to play as it did to type at top speed - I've rarely seen heads up players storm through hands like this.

Attention has been diverted a little from the tournament, as a) Jason Mercier has shown up and all the cameras decided they'd rather follow him than the heads-up match, b) a gentleman in the crowd seemed to be filming the proceedings and had to be ejected (it looks like security ejected the wrong guys, but what can you do), and c) the play for some time has consisted of, as Djinn put it, "A long list of flops."
We'll let you know as soon as anything more worthy of note happens, or Mr. Mercier says something funny.

So many flops are coming down in this heads up match, but so few get past one or t'other of these two betting them that they're starting to feel like a card patchwork or a flop simulator of some sort. Bearing in mind that no more than three big blinds will have changed hands per flop in this list, and that the balance of chip power has in no way altered, here are some flops for you, just to fill in the time I've spent watching and recording and give you an idea what I mean:
