$350 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 25: 15,000/30,000/5,000 ante
A firestorm exploded right before the re-draw here in Event 7.
The elimination to set up the re-draw took place but a dealer had begun to shuffle a hand thus forcing that table to have to play the hand. Georges Boyadjian took exception and began arguing with the tournament director about the matter. After being told multiple times that the hand was going to be dealt, Boyadjian relented but then saw the clock was stopped and took issue with that as well resuming the dispute. After being warned repeatedly that he needed to stop or he would be penalized, he did not. The TD then gave him a one round penalty but he continued on raising tensions for everyone and two more penalty rounds were given.
After a discussion with the supervisor, the three round penalty was reduced back to one round and Boyadjian is currently sitting out while cooler heads prevail and play continues here in Event 7.
