Nguyen and Gagnon Chop as Kabrhel Fumes Into Break
The rest of the room had already cleared out for break while a situation had developed at Martin Kabrhel's table.
Kabrhel had 10,000 in front of him under the gun before Samuel Gagnon moved all in for 26,000 in early position. Hung Nguyen called on the button as action went back on Kabrhel.
Kabrhel believed he had been short-changed out of the pot and demanded that the floor check the cameras. Two officials came by and told him that nothing was found on surveillance, but that didn't pacify Kabrhel, was continued to yell at them to check again.
Another player eventually called the clock and Kabrhel, while still complaining, eventually called. The flop came 7♥8♥6♣ and Nguyen moved all in.
Kabrhel asked for a count, even though Nguyen had his 50,000 well-covered. "What is the point?" Nguyen asked him.
"To waste time on our break," another tablemate added. The clock was again called on Kabrhel and he soon folded.
"You got it man," Nguyen told Gagnon as the cards were revealed.
Samuel Gagnon: A♠K♦ 
Hung Nguyen: A♥K♠
Both players turned over the same hand, while Nguyen was freerolling to a flush. The 10♠ fell on the turn to remove that possibility, while the A♦ completed the board on the river and they chopped the pot.
Kabrhel quickly stormed out of the tournament area, still fuming at the tournament officials. "That dude is crazy. I beat him in two pots. That's why he left so quickly," Nguyen said.
