The players are giving the impression that they are playing to be entertained and its not all about the money, proven when someone in the table paid 12000 to see someone else's hole card. First hand, Mercier with a pair of 10, Laak with his pair of J's, and Baxter with his AK off suited with pot up to $69,000. Well Baxter just hit a pair of A's in the river so first hand goes to him without any resistance.
