with an early-position player betting out into three opponents. Eugene Juczenko made the call before Trung Tran raised on the button. Danny Mountt made the call in the big blind, as did the EP player and Juczenko.The turn brought the

After the completion of the deal, the dealer summoned a tournament supervisor to the table who assessed a one-orbit penalty on Khouiss. It turned out not to matter; Khouiss quickly got his remaining chips in against Danny Mountt and James Kronos. Kronos and Mountt checked down the turn and the river for a final board of

Kronos:
Mountt:
Kronos flopped top set of nines, but lost the high half when Mountt made a baby flush on the turn and the board never repeated. It seemed as though each player tabled a live ace for low which should have resulted in Kronos being quartered for the low half, but the entire low half of the pot was awarded to Kronos.

He circled the table, claiming that there must be a hole in the floor beneath the table because the chip was gone. Finally one of the floor staff disappeared underneath the table, ultimately emerging with a $5 cash chip and the errant purple tournament chip.
Jason Gray, one of the active players in the hand, asked that Tony G's bet not be considered a raise, but the staff ruled that because Tony had thrown multiple chips onto the felt in front of him in excess of those needed to just call, the raise would stand.
Tony didn't win that hand, but he did win the next hand, showing down

fell on the turn, before the on the river was checked around and the cards were tabled:Khouiss:
Tran:
Waggoner:
Tran showed down kings and eights for the high and the best low to scoop the entire pot. Tran jumps to 21,000 with Waggoner slipping to 12,000 and Khouiss down to his last 2,500.
