Gelyana Given a Warning

Level 33 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Shayne Sim shoved 7,300,000 from the hijack with 66 and the action got to Welyam Gelyana in the big blind with 33.

Gelyana was last to act and decided to turn his hand over while he decided how to proceed, and eventually did settle on a fold. The floor then came over to give him a warning to Gelyana for exposing his cards while there was still action, but no penalty was given.
