''He is Stealing From Me. This is Theft!''
A hand was playing out on Table 12 but that is not what drew everyone's attention to the table. It was Gregory Armand, who claimed Giuseppe Zarbo accepted a pot that he didn't win, which Armand was supposed to win. Said hand happened two hands ago and in the meantime, the table lost Adam Chochola and Benjamin Chalot. Chalot immediately reentered but Chochola stayed at the table to witness it all.
Multiple members of the floor staff arrived at the table to assess the situation. Armand claimed he was supposed to win the pot with 
against the 
of Zarbo with only a deuce on the board. Armand's kicker should've earned him the pot but the chips were pushed to Zarbo.
Armand, meanwhile, had gotten to his feet to greet someone on the rail safe in the knowledge - he assumed - that he had won the pot.
Upon returning to the table, he counted his chips and realized that he had not been awarded the pot. Armand insisted on the floor staff checking the cameras above the table and went off against his opponent.
''He knows he lost and he took the pot!" he shouted. "He stole from me, he's a thief!''
Tournament director Toby Stone explained to Armand that it wasn't possible to check the cameras because it would take too long. Stone also explained he was trying everything in his power to see if they could find a solution.
Armand stepped aside from the table when Stone was trying to confirm what happened with the other players at the table. The general consensus was that Armand indeed should've won the pot and that Zarbo had put the 14,000-18,000 in his own stack.
It took about ten minutes before Zarbo gave 16,000 to Armand. Armand was happy with the solution and play continued at Table 12 with 35 minutes left on the clock before the end of the day.
