The UTG player opened to 1,400 and almost immediately found a raise from Peter "Mayor Pete" Dirksen to 7,200. Action folded all the way back to the original raiser who took a moment but eventually pushed forward calling chips.
Flop: 
Both players cnecked and the turn came 
.
After another check from the original raiser, Dirksen tossed out a single 5,000 chip and got a pretty quick call.
River: 
Another check from the early position player led to "Mayor Pete" tossing 4 5,000 chips forward for a bet of 20,000 that would have put his opponent all-in if he called. After a good amount of time replaying the hand, the original raiser tossed his cards to the muck and Dirksen pulled in the pot.

Security has entered the poker room to assist in making sure the player in Seat 1 follows through with his 1 round penalty.
After speaking with players at the table and Tournament Managers, PokerNews has found out the source of the issue at hand.
The player in seat 1 appears to be playing after consuming quite a few cocktails. He has been caught causing minor damage to cards by over bending the corners. Players were able to ask the dealer to flip over a folded card later and correctly called it as the 
. This behavior continued until the major issue at hand.
Under the gun, the player we are discussing limped into the pot. The player on his direct right raised without announcing. Two yellow 1k chips were tossed forward during the 400/800 level. The dealer never mentioned the raise and when action folded back to the player we are speaking of, he pushed a few different chips forward but appeared to not know what was going on. When the dealer explained there was a raise, the player raised his voice and told her there was no raise. This debate went back and forth and as the tension raised, the player stood up and showed his anger about this situation. Finally a floor manager came to assist and shared that he had called. The hand played out with this player folding on the turn. At this point, the player has approached his table multiple times within minutes of receiving his penalty and security are now on hand to keep him outside of the tournament area until his penalty ends.
PokerNews will keep an eye on the situation and bring more information as it is made available.

Turn: 
This time the player first to act checked it to Perri and 8,000 was counted out and pushed forward. The big blind player tossed his cards away and the remaining two player's cards were revealed.
Perri: 
Player At Risk: 
The player at risk needed help but when the 
arrived on the river, the pair of 4s was not enough to win the hand. PokerNews approached the player but he was already out of the tournament area before we could capture his name.
