Scott Baumstein three-bet shoved over an open and his opponent wanted to know if he could turn his hand over before making a decision. It was Baumstein who was at risk and the floor ruled that he could not turn his hand up.
Baumstein gave a speech about being confident his hand was good since he hadn’t been called yet. Another player then called clock but as it was only ninety seconds since Baumstein had moved all in the countdown was not started.
The player folded face up much to the derision on the table as they were six handed and raise-folding ace-jack seemed to be frowned upon. The argument then moved on to the time being taken to make decisions slowing the game up, but just then the table was broken which put a stop to any escalation, at least for now.
Matthew Alexander had Norbert Szecsi all in and at risk preflop.

A classic race for Szecsi's tournament life was underway as the dealer rapped the table a delivered the first three cards of the board. The flop was not kind to Szecsi running out . Szecsi was left with some outs but the and completed the board and Alexander was pushed all the chips.
Erwann Pecheux from France moved all in on the river of a board reading .
He had his opponent, who had just over 100,000 behind, covered. “Where you from, man?” Pecheux was asked. His opponent couldn’t find a solution to his problem and folded, asking, “Show for five dollars?”
“Fifty,” Pecheux responded.
“Fifteen,” was the counter offer. “Come on, everyone chip in.”
No one did contribute, but there was plenty of speculation about what Pecheux had and the consensus was he had a missed draw. It wasn’t their tournament on the line, though, and not their dollars on the table to find out for sure.
