Mustapha Kanit, in the small blind, was facing a three-bet for his tournament life from the big blind, Martin Kabrhel. Kanit went deep into the tank.
After using a time bank, more time continued to run off, at which point Kabrhel claimed that Kanit owed an additional time bank. The action clock was paused, the floor was called, and tensions quickly escalated. Kabrhel and the floor were discussing the situation in another language, which prompted another player at the table—clearly fed up with Kabrhel’s antics—to shout, “They’re speaking the same language, what the f**k is going on?!”
A second floor person arrived in an attempt to de-escalate the situation, but things only became more heated. Kabrhel remained adamant that Kanit still owed another time bank.
Eventually, a third floor person—tournament director Andy Tillman—came over and sternly warned all parties that penalties would be issued if the situation continued. After confirming with the dealer that only one time bank had been used, Tillman ordered the action clock to be resumed.
At that point, Kanit declared, “LET’S DANCE, MARTIN!” and made the call for his tournament life.
Mustapha Kanit: K♥10♥ 
Martin Kabrhel: K♦4♣
After all the drama, Kanit had Kabrhel dominated. Upon seeing Kabrhel’s hand, Kanit repeatedly said, “Let’s dance, Martin. Let’s f**king dance, Martin.”
The flop came K♠A♥3♦, prompting Kanit to say, “Time to dance, Martin.”
After the 6♠ fell on the turn, Kanit added, “Let’s dance together, Martin.”
The river was the 7♠, giving Kanit the double-up. Kanit then yelled directly at Kabrhel, “I’M DANCING, MARTIN! YOU SEE HOW I DANCE?! HOW MANY TIME BANKS?!”
Andy Tillman once again warned all players, and the table moved on to the next hand—though not before Kabrhel muttered, “He owes one more time bank.”
