Level 19 : Limits 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

Blinds: 6,000-12,000
Limits: 12,000-24,000

Jun Weng and Marcel Vonk had capped the betting before the first draw, after which they both stood pat.

Weng's remaining 23,000 chips were put in the pot after the first draw, and Weng and Vonk declared their pats two more times.

When the dealer asked for a showdown, Weng refused, arguing there was one draw remaining.

The floor was called over, and after several more minutes of arguments and cross-checking with several people, it was determined that all draws had indeed taken place. Weng pleaded to check the cameras to no avail.

Weng then reluctantly tabled 10♦8♠7♥6♣ for a ten-badugi, which lost to the 7♦5♥2♠A♣ of Vonk. He exited the tournament area while the table continued discussing the remarkable situation.
