Play was halted on Table 509 for a full 14 minutes over a dispute involving Wai Kit Lo and Ryan Gibbs.
Lo pushed all in, Gibbs made the call.
Wai Kit Lo: 9♥9♣
Ryan Gibbs: J♥J♦
The runout came to a dramatic finish 4♦J♠7♦8♠10♦, as Gibbs' set of jacks were toppled by Lo's gutshot straight on the river. The dealer inadvertently began to push the pot to Gibbs.
Lo, halted that, but before the dealer had finished pushing the pot to him, Gibbs had removed some chips from it.
Gibbs says he was simply taking his preflop raise back and making change to pay Lo the nearly 400,000 owed. Lo believed chips that were his were taken. He even had a video that he said supported his claim.
The tournament director didn't see it his way, however. After much debate, a second floor person was called in, and the decision was made to have Gibbs pay Lo 385,000, and if WSOP video showed he was due more, then stacks would be adjusted.
Play resumed.
Later, there was another five-minute discussion when the tournament director came to tell Lo that no extra chips were taken.
The director told both players that the issue was dead and a penalty would be imposed if either brought it up again.

James Kohl: XxXx
Power showed the seven of diamonds as he had picked up the flush on the river, tripling his stack.
