Michael Nye was penalized one rotation of play for the use of a solver.
Two players at a nearby table, with direct line-of-sight to Nye's seat, spotted him using a solver on a smartphone, and alerted the tournament director.
Apparently Nye had no idea that solvers are against tournament rules. According to WSOP rules, penalty for such use could range from sitting out an orbit up to disqualification.
The TD said he got immediate confirmation from Nye that he had indeed used the illegal device after a hand.
Nye reportedly said, "I just wanted to see if I made the right fold."

Christopher Podlewski in the small blind limped and Elwood Gray defended his blind by raising to 75,000. Podlewski called to see a flop.
The flop came K♦8♥7♣ and aciton went check, check.
Podlewski led out with 75,000 on the 9♣ turn and Gray raised him to 250,000. Podlewski replied with an all-in shove worth around 1,000,000. Gray with only around 350,000 behind called putting himself at risk.
Elwood Gray: A♣K♠
Christopher Podlewski: J♠10♣
Gray hit top pair but couldn't beat Podlewski's straight. The dealer completed the board with a Q♦ which improved Podlewski's hand further with the higher straight. Gray left the table as Podlewski scooped the pot.
The very hand after, on the button, Podlewski found himself in another all-in situation.
Atrayon Trevino opened to 80,000 from hijack and Podlewski raised to 525,000 which covered what Trevino had behind. Trevino pushed all-in taking them to another showdown.
Atrayon Trevino: A♥Q♥
Christopher Podlewski: A♦K♦
The board ran 6♠8♠J♦6♦4♣ and with the inferior ace-high, Trevino was sent to the rails.
