One Round Penalty for Kassouf
After some arguments between Will Kassouf and Tomas Szwarcberg surrounding the clock being called too early, Kassouf started bantering his tablemate within earshot of the tournament floor supervisor. He was then given a one round penalty and took that time to step away from the table to have a discussion with two of the tournament directors.
Kassouf was still in the middle of explaining his situation and all of the controversy that took place on Day 6 when Jack Effel arrived in the tournament area.
"This conversation is over. There is nothing else to be said here. Take your one-round penalty and shut up," Effel went off on Kassouf. "If you follow me or if this continues, I will have security escort you out of here and you will be disqualified."
Kassouf was clearly not happy with the situation unfolding and took it outside of the ropes to continue explaining his situation to the PokerGO camera.
"This is 2016 all over again!" Kassouf shouted.
