: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Kravchenko tank-folded but complained to the tournament director over Rodriguez folding out of turn which gave Petroli the advantage of knowing the player behind him wasn't interested in the pot. Rodriguez receveived a two-hand penalty and had to miss out his small blind and button.
