The Red Section of the Brasilia Room has been completely broken.
Jason Mercier was down to under 60,000 about 15 minutes ago, but he just bounced back after winning a big pot to get back over the 100,700 he started the day with.
The big blind was not at the table when Mercier raised under the gun to 4,000. David Halpern called out of the small blind, and they went heads up to a flop of 
. Halpern led out for 4,100, and Mercier came along to see the turn, the . Halpern fired out again, this time for 6,200, and Mercier responded with a raise to 18,500. Halpern called, and the river brought the 
.
Halpern led out for the third time with a bet of 12,000 this time. The ESPN cameras swarmed around Mericer, who shoved all in for 46,000 after thinking for about 90 seconds. Halpern tanked for about 30 seconds, before folding, flashing the 
as he did so. Mericer collected the pot, and is now up to 114,000.

We found Chance Kornuth and Jeff Norman on a flop of 
. Norman checked from the big blind and Kornuth bet 6,500 in late position. Norman check-raised all in for around 70,000.
Kornuth went deep into the tank and was visibly doing math in his head. He tried talking to Norman, but Norman kept his half grinning stare straight down at the table.
Kornuth tanked for a bit longer and then eventually mucked his hand. "Show me one card?" Kornuth asked.
Norman obliged and showed him the .
"I wanted to see the other one," Kornuth lamented.

Two players, including Jerry Yang playing from under the gun, saw a flop come 
, and Yang led for 16,000. His opponent sitting in middle position thought a moment, then called. The turn was the 
, and this time Yang bet 32,000. Again his opponent paused, then called the bet.
The river brought the and an all-in shove from Yang. His opponent took a long time before acting, waiting almost three minutes before finally folding his hand, at which point Yang let out a short yell and fist pump, suggesting the fold was most certainly a desired response.
Yang moves up over 200,000 with that one.
