Heinz Novak Forces an "Easy" Fold
Level 4
: 150/300, 50 ante
With the board reading [kds6cjdqs], Heinz Novak checked to his opponent who bet 3,500 into a pot of around 10,000.
Novak then raised to 7,500. His opponent thought, cutting out the chips to call, before having the clock called on him.
The floor person came over, and as the clock was ticking down he folded 
face up.
"An easy fold," said a player at the table in German.
"It's not an easy fold," came the reply from the player who saw his chips heading towards Novak, who now has more than 80,000 in chips.

Maciej Kondraszuk Escapes With a Warning...and the Pot
Level 5
: 200/400, 50 ante
The entire board was dealt: 
and Maciej Kondraszuk was sat with 9,000 chips in front of him, with the pot around 11,500. However, there was some question as to whether he had announced his bet of 9,000. The floor was called over and the situation was explained.
Kondraszuk had said 'Nine' only, without putting any chips over the line. However, he argued that earlier when facing a bet of 1,600 he had said 'Four' and that had been interpreted as a raise. The discussion garnered input from several other players, who held differing views of how much the bet should be.
Eventually, the floor ruled that the bet stood at 9,000, but that Kondraszuk would get a warning.
With that settled, the action now fell to his opponent, who eventually called and turned over 
for a pair of jacks, but Kondraszuk had him beat with 
for a set of eights.
