Wild Finish to one of the Non-ESPN WSOP Events

From the ESPN WSOP Poker Blog:

Wild scene at the early-morning finish of Pot Limit Omaha. Rafi Amit has about a 5-1 chip lead over Vinny Vinh after playing heads-up for about two hours. Then Amit utters a naughty word, which is overheard by the tournament director, who issues a 10-minute penalty. This, mind you with a gold bracelet within reach. Amit's supporters went nuts - security had to be called to escort some of them out - and Amit had to be held back at times during his timeout as he continued to be blinded off, and this was no little thing, what with blinds at $8,000-$16,000. So, Amit was losing $24,000 a round, and suddenly Vinh went from $120,000 to a stack of $330,000. Finally, at 4 a.m., after the penalty, after another hour of heads-up play, Amit copped the bracelet.

So from roughly 600k to 120 K to 390K to 330K, dayumn.. I wish I could see this melt down on TV
