An Early Penalty

On a three-way all in, the board read {3-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {A-Clubs} {5-Clubs}. All the money had gone in on the turn and the river left two players at the table very unhappy. The first player turned over 5-3 for a flopped two pair turned boat, another player showed 2-4 for a flopped open-ended straight draw turned wheel, and the last player showed pocket aces for a full house, aces full.

The player with the 5-3 was quite upset over having the under-full and let out a few expletives toward his opponent that cost him an early time out. Things seemed a little heated, but died down after the floor tournament staff showed up to lay down the law. The penalty's over now, though the player is still visibly heated about the situation.
