It was then that Spriggs started talking. Saying "that's how you win tournaments boys," and making other comments triggered a reaction. Traber started complaining, saying to the floor "he can't talk during the hand" and that his talk is influencing action. The floor told Spriggs to not talk about cards and the hand in general but he can talk about anything else.

Eventually Seffense folded and the cards were turned over.

Rodney Spriggs:

The board ran out to give Marn a massive double up.
