Two Minutes for Slashing

[user101598]

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

With the elimination of Rahul Rastogi, Table 25 broke. In search of his new seat, Khylon Hanegraaf walked over to Table 31, and placed his racks onto the felt. He was immediately dealt in, Denny Lewis moved all in from early position, and Hanegraaf realized that he was at the wrong table.

His hand was declared dead, Lewis the rest of the players folded, and Hanegraaf was given a two-minute penalty. The Aussie has less than a third of the average stack, so missing the hands may cost him dearly.
