Tournament officials had been called to a table for a hand involving Heza Inthachon and Dimitar Iwanov-Petkin.
With the board reading 8♦3♣2♦Q♥A♣, Iwanov-Petkin had opened A♦10♦ face-up on the table. The dealer had then removed these and placed them in the muck.
"No, I said all-in!" said Iwanov-Petkin. He believed that this all-in had subsequently been called by Inthachon, and therefore he had opened his cards. On the other hand, Inthachon believed that Iwanov-Petkin had thrown his hand away.
In the end, tournament officials ruled that Iwanov-Petkin had tabled his hand in turn, and not mucked it, and therefore it was retrieved from the muck and properly tabled.
Iwanov-Petkin then called and Inthachon's hand 8♥4♦ was then turned over and he was eliminated. For prematurely opening his cards, Iwanov-Petkin received a one-round penalty.
