A pot of 30,000 had developed by the turn on a board of K♦4♦J♦J♥, in a hand between Barak Oz and Karsten Knoebel in middle position, and Mariusz Klabisch on the button.
The dealer was in the process of sweeping chips from Oz and Knoebel into the middle, and Klabisch had just folded.
The K♣ hit on the river, and Klabisch jumped out of his chair exclaiming "Oh No!", in a huge poker etiquette faux pas.
The active players tried to proceed as normal, and Oz checked to Knoebel, who slid out a bet of 10,000. Oz showed his understandable frustration, saying to Klabsich "So you folded a king eh, you can't do this man, this is bad".
Klabisch was apologetic, saying "Sorry, I know, sorry, I'm emotional, look at my stack", gesturing to his sub 20,000 stack. "That doesn't help me", responded Oz.
Oz chucked in calling chips reluctantly, and his mood only darkened when Knoebel showed Q♣J♣ for the low full house, beating Oz's A♦9♦ for the flopped nut flush, his cards slammed down face-up onto the table in anger.
The floor had appeared, and Oz asked for a ruling. The floor went to check with the tournament director, and in the meantime, Oz opened to 1,000 from early position.
Action folded to Adrian Modoran on the button, who produced a three-bet to 3,500. Oz pumped it up again to 16,000, and called off for his 65,000 total stack versus a five-bet jam from Modoran.
Barak Oz: A♠Q♠ 
Adrian Modoran: A♦A♣
In a brutal turn of events, Oz had run into aces, and there was no escape despite flopping top pair on the Q♥7♠6♣5♣9♠ runout.
Oz was fuming, and the floor came back and gave Klabisch a stern warning as to his conduct, while Oz stormed off from the tournament area.
