Orbit Penalty; Player Out
An interesting hand occurred over at table 4, where Chin Wei Lim and Cosimo Sabatini were involved in an unusual situation. While the action wasn't entirely clear when we arrived, it appeared Sabatini had bet 17,000 on the river, and Chin Wei Lim had shoved for a little more than that.
Presumably suspecting Lim was all in already, Sabatini had revealed 
with the board containing two eights. Lim, upon seeing the kings, showed 
and had won the hand, but since action wasn't completed yet Sabatini could still opt to fold which, logically, he did. Both players then received a one-round penalty for exposing their hands early.
The kicker is that Sabatini had just 2,300 behind and was about to become the big blind. While being on sit-out, Sabatini's big blind and small blind got auto-mucked, which deprived him of his final chips and put an official end to his tournament while he was already out of the room.
