"Here's Our Rule on Phones - Don't Use 'Em!"

Crown Director of Poker Operations Jonno Pittock made it clear to the players that the use of mobile phones at the tables is strictly prohibited.

However it seems that some people still didn't get the message - or perhaps one person thought that was the SMS that was coming in.

As we watched action on table 30, a player was checking a text message on his mobile - BANG. The tournament director came in and slapped him with a five-minute time penalty. Oops.

It may have saved him some chips though; as he was ushered to the rail to serve his time, Jason Guiliano and another opponent got their money into the middle preflop.

Guiliano: {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}
Opponent: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

The board ran out {2-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{A-Clubs}, eliminating the opponent and sending Guiliano's stack up to 22,000.
