One Round Penalties for Bierman and Brabham
Level 24
: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Earlier in the day, Trey Brabham celebrated loudly after doubling through Nathan Nguyen. This roused the ire of tablemate Stephen Bierman and a short while ago the two got into a slinging match across the table.
The floor intervened and, after waiting for the hand involving Brabham and another player to finish, he sent both Bierman and Brabham on one round penalties.

It was battle of the big pairs but Pannucci had the best of it. After a tough couple of levels that have seen his stack dwindle, Pannucci held on the 
board and is back in good shape.
