Ten Hands Per Hour

Level 7 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

On the first hand back from break, Paul Newey raised to 74,000 from under the gun, David Einhorn called, and as the action folded to Talal Shakerchi, Gus Hansen came storming into the Amazon Room.

"F*** me! My big blind!" he shouted. "Motherf***er!"

Shakerchi called, and the flop came down {3-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}. Newey led for 74,000, and only Einhorn called.

The turn was the {7-Hearts}, and Newey led out for 230,000. Einhorn tanked for the better part of four minutes, then folded.

"Let's try to play more than ten hands per hour," Jason Mercier said after the hand.
