The following eliminations happened while we were following the antics of Quan Zhou.
There was a 200k pot and a flop of ![]()
![]()
already dealt. Quan Zhou, in early position, checked the
turn to Marius Torbergsen who bet 80,000. Zhou played with his chips a bit and after a short time, made the call.
Zhou again checked when the
river came. This time Torbergsen bet 220,000. When action got back to Zhou, he announced all in. Torbergsen was just shaking his head.
After a few short seconds, Zhou called the clock but the tournament director explained that not enough time had lapsed for the clock to be called. Then Zhou took his calling chips, matched them to Torbergsen's bet and pushed the chips into the pot. Then he moved his remaining chips in front of Torbergsen.
Torbergsen ended up folding and Zhou was given a three-hand penalty for aggressive action.

To say Quan Zhou gets excited at the possibility of winning is an understatement. When involved in an all in situation, Zhou loudly shouts with each turn of the card. When he eliminates a player, which he has done several times so far, he responds "Goodbye" while laughing and holding his hand out to his opponent.
Some might view this as less than ideal sportsmanship behavior. He was warned for excessive celebration yesterday and today was given and official warning when he eliminated Kenny Wong. He has been deemed "Mr. Excessive Celebration by APPT President Danny McDonagh.
