Over at 2015 World Champion Joe McKeehen's table in the Brasilia Red section, George Belianin has been disqualified in the 2019 WSOP Main Event after not even one hour of play on Day 1c.
According to several players at the table, after winning a small pot, the #5 seat George Belianin reached out to his left-hand neighbor's stack as well and scooped up his entire stack in the process to add it to his. Allegedly, Belianin did so with a smile on his face.
Belianin subsequently got disqualified for stealing another person's chips at the table and will not be active in the 2019 Main Event anymore. It was the Vice President of the World Series of Poker Jack Effel who came over and escorted Belianin out of the tournament area. His chips will be taken out of play, while his buy-in stays in the prize pool.
