Altman Hits The Rail; Player Given a Penalty

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

The action folded to Brian Altman in the hijack who moved all in for 40,000 and it folded to Wilson Igwe small blind who was contemplating his decision. The player in the big blind folded his cards out of turn and after a few seconds, Igwe made the call.

Brian Altman: A?8?
Wilson Igwe: 5?5?

It was a coin-flip preflop, but when the board ran out K?Q?4?K?10?, it was the fives that held up for Igwe to send Altman to the exit.

There was an altercation between the big blind and another player at the table, and after the floor came over, the big blind player was given a one round penalty.
