Deprivation of the Senses

We all know that playing in deep stack poker events can be quite monotonous and understand why people keep themselves occupied with I Pods, I Pads, etc but on times they can be an absolute hindrance.
Over at table 26 where Team PokerStars Pro's Liv Boeree and Noah Boeken are sat we caught up with a hand at the turn. The flop was 
. Michael Huber had checked and his opponent had bet 5,600. Huber with 20,000 behind him made the call. The river was the 
and Huber checked and his opponent declared all-in. Huber was wearing headphones at the time and he simply rolled his cards face up to show 
but didn't say anything.
There was a dispute on the table in four different languages about what Huber's action meant. Huber himself admitted that he did not hear his opponent announce all-in and assumed he had checked.
Boeree called Tournament Director Thomas Kremser over to make a decision and he declared Huber's hand as live and told him that he could either call or fold. There were a few players on the table who were not happy with this decision and believed his hand should have been folded, citing different rulings in different tournaments.
Huber announced a call with his full house.
"OK enough with the slow roll - show us your quad fives." Said Boeken to the player who had gone all-in.
The player mucked his hand, Huber scooped the pot and we left to the sounds of discontent from around the table.
