After a series of preflop raises, Brian Shapiro was all in from late position against Kevin "BeL0WaB0Ve" Saul from the small blind.

Saul: {K-Spades} {K-Diamonds}
Shapiro: {A-Clubs} {A-Diamonds}

With ESPN recording the hand, Shapiro felt the need to ham it up for the camera's, standing from the table and screaming "Please don't put a king, please, please don't put a king"

Flop: {K-Hearts} {10-Spades} {6-Spades} giving Saul his set.

Shapiro got his backpack on and prepared to leave, however he got a glimmer of hope when the {J-Diamonds} landed on the felt.

The river then brought the {Q-Diamonds} giving Shapiro runner-runner straight to stay alive.

Several "Whooo's" came screaming from the mouth of Shapiro. After the string of excessive celebratory exclamations, Shapiro stuck an index finger in Saul's direction and proclaimed "Do that to me one more time...double me up again! Whooo!"

Saul sat staring at Shapiro in silent disbelief of the act of unsportsmanlike conduct.

Tournament director Jack Effel came over to the table and offered Shapiro a stern warning and a one hand penalty.

Chip counts after the hand:
Brian Shapiro: 167,500
Kevin Saul: 685,000
