Rajaee Wazwaz was in the small blind and with action on the Robert Sullivan on the button, Wazwaz stood up and walked away from the table to get a beverage from a friend. This action sparked outrage from Sullivan and especially Matt Stout, who was in the big blind.
Stout was shocked that a player this deep in the tournament would stand up with cards in front of him and walk away, basically folding out of turn.
The WSOP floor staff was called and Wazwaz was issued a one-round penalty.
