Confusion, Rulings and Exposed Cards
It was immediate action on Table 531 in the Main Event.
When the under-the-gun player folded, the dealer pulled in his cards, but also accidentally pulled in the cards of the small blind player, as he was stacking chips from the previous hand and hadn't yet 'protected his cards'.
The next player to act, Jon Kyte, put in a raise to 22,000, but as he did this, the players at the table believed the hand to be a misdeal. The confusion at the table led to Vinicius Camargo sharing his cards with the players sitting next to him, exposing pocket jacks, as he believed he was about to return them to the dealer.
Queue the floor being called. A tournament official arrived, took stock of the action and made a ruling:
1. Because there had been action, the hand wasn't a misdeal.
2. Camargo's hand wasn't dead, but as he had shown two players, he must expose his cards to the whole table.
He turned over J♣J♥.
The hand was now ready to resume, and action was on Camargo, still facing the raise of 22,000.
Camargo responded with a three-bet to 55,000, before one seat to his left, Max Pinnola, four-bet all in for 146,000.
The action returned to Kyte, who folded, and back to Camargo.
Camargo went deep into the tank, knowing that his opponent knew his hand, and still elected to move all in.
After some time, he chose to call anyway.
Max Pinnola: A♥Q♥ 
Vinicius Camargo: J♣J♥
The dealer provided a 2♥2♦4♠K♦8♦ board, which was no help to Pinnola; and as he gathered his belongings and left, the rest of the table discussed the very unique hand they had just been a part of.
