Controversy

On the last hand, Scott Clements and John Monnette were tangled up on a flop that contained two nines. Monette picked up his last lonely pink T5,000 chip, and Clements tabled his hand, assuming that Monnette was all in. Clements' hand contained a third nine, and when Monnette saw that he was drawing to runner-runner, he folded and saved his last chip.

Negreanu was livid with Clements for potentially costing him a position, as Negreanu is very short on chips as well. In the end, the floor was called over, and it was ruled that Clements must serve a full one-orbit penalty for intentionally exposing his cards.
