Level 9 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

Mike "Timex" McDonald and Tom "durrrr" Dwan got into it in a heads-up pot. It was a battle of the soul reads as each player tried to stare into the mind of the other. The flop fell {9-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{2-Hearts}, and McDonald checked to Dwan, gazing at him as he decided on a bet. Dwan fired 4,700, and McDonald called. After the {6-Spades} on the turn, there was more staring and a check-call of 11,400 from McDonald. The river was the {a-Clubs}, and McDonald checked again. Dwan bet 31,000, prompting more intense study from Timex. Eventually McDonald folded, and Dwan endured the scrutiny to scoop a nice pot.

Timex tweeted: Just played a hand that involved about 5 minutes of staredowns and almost smiled on 5+ occasions - #needtoputmygamefaceon

McDonald is just over 100,000 while Dwan built to 226,000.
