Conor Beresford was down to around a starting stack and got the last of his chips in the middle against the chip leader Samy Boujmala. Beresford flipped over pocket sixes but was well behind the pocket kings of Boujmala.
Beresford started making his way to the exit before a king-high flop hit the felt. Parker Talbot, sitting at the table next door, started to shout at Beresford.
"Hey, you went running sixes! Get back here!" The rest of the table played along and Beresford returned to the table to find out in fact he had been eliminated and many players burst into laughter.
