From early position, Ryan D'Angelo opened the pot with a raise to 4,000. Action folded to the small blind, who reraised all in to 20,000. Not seeing that the big blind still had cards and was yet to act, D'Angelo instantly called the raise and opened his hand to reveal two kings. The big blind protested that he hadn't acted yet.

A floorperson was called over to the table, who ruled that the big blind should be allowed to act despite the fact that D'Angelo's hand was open. The big blind then folded. The dealer ran out the board between D'Angelo and the small blind, with D'Angelo winning the hand.

D'Angelo, who is among the chip leaders in today's event, was given a one-orbit penalty by the floor after the hand was completed.
