Vayssieres Busts Wiegmann; Takes a Penalty
Cody Wiegmann raised to 565,000 with 105,000 behind while in the small blind. Nicolas Vayssieres was in the big blind and eventually moved all-in. Since the tournament was still on a pay jump, Wiegmann tanked and both then started engaging in some table chat. Wiegmann mentioned he had a king-high, to which Vayssieres replied that it's a flip.
Once the pay jump was secured, Wiegmann called all-in.

The flop gave Vayssieres the superior hand but Wiegmann had the nut flush draw. Nothing changed on the turn and the river ended Wiegmann's run in 62nd place. Floor staff was then made aware of the table talk between the two players and Vayssieres was initially given a seven-hand penalty, which was reduced to one hand shortly thereafter.
