Freeman Gets a Penalty After Shoving on McCracken

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Pavan Katragadda raised to 3,400 in the hijack and was called by Evan Freeman on the button and William McCracken in the big blind.

Action checked to Freeman on the Q♣9♥9♠ flop, and he bet 8,000. Only McCracken called.

Freeman then moved all in on the 5♣ turn before McCracken had a chance to act. A tournament official was called over, and McCracken then tossed his cards into the muck.

"This is like the fourth time it's happened," he told the tournament official, who then gave Freeman a one-round penalty.
