While the tournament director was dealing with a situation over at table 308, table 309 lost a player. Daniel Buzgon called for the floor, but the dealer continued to deal the hand. The table was down to seven players and they all agreed to wait for the floor to bring another player to the table. Mind you, the cards had already been dealt.
Niccolo Caramatti proceeded to get up from the table and walk over to his friends on the rail. After the TD came over to handle the eliminated player, the hand resumed. Caramatti raised and it was folded around to Jose Obadia who called the floor himself.
The TD came back over and Obadia explained the situation, the dealer also explained the situation and Buzgon threw in an explanation as well. After it was all sorted out, Caramatti was forced to fold his hand because it was explained that he could not abandon his hand. He was visibly angry and started shouting to Obadia and calling him names. The TD gave him a one hand penalty. Things have finally started to settle down here in the orange section of the Amazon Room - we hope.
