Worthington-Leese Gets a Penalty

Level 6 : 250/500, 50 ante

Hwee Hua Loh raised to 1,100 from the hijack and Janar Kokk called in the cutoff. Leo Worthington-Leese three-bet to 3,800 from the small blind and only Loh made the call.

The flop came {2-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{4-Spades}, Worthington-Leese bet 2,700 and Loh called.

The turn came {9-Hearts}, Worthington-Leese fired another bet over the line, now for 7,100 and Loh called again.

The river completed the board with the {2-Spades}, Worthington-Leese barreled 28,000 over the line which was more than Loh had behind and Loh snap-called. Worthington-Leese flung his cards into the muck and that's when the commotion started (in Italian). The floor was called over as Worthington-Leese was supposed to show his cards as there was an all-in situation. As the hole cards weren't retrievable any more, they would remain in the muck. Loh had to show {3-Hearts}{3-Clubs} and Worthington-Leese was given a 1-round penalty. Loh doubled up for the 21,150 he had behind.
