There was big consternation over at Table 726 where Tommy Chen had moved all in. The board was reading and Jesse Martin had 67,000 in front of him. Chen had shoved for 126,500 and had exposed his hand before Martin had called off the extra chips.

Both players got in a heated argument and verbally traded insults while Martin was deciding on a call, which resulted in the floor staff coming over to calm things down.
Eventually, Martin folded his hand and Chen received a one-round penalty for exposing his cards prematurely.
