Pecheux Busts After "All-in" Ruling vs. Mokrani
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
With 85,000 chips in the middle on a 
river, it appeared that Erwann Pecheux had moved all in for 41,000 and Mohamed Mokrani had called.
However, despite the dealer announcing all in before Mokrani called, Pecheux had a 1,000 chip behind and therefore wasn't all in. The issue arose whether Mokrani's stack which he used to call with constituted a raise that would actually put Pecheux all in.
Tournament staff conferred with one another, and eventually took the ruling higher before returning to the table. The ruling was that Mokrani was only able to call Pecheux's bet and the cards were turned over.
Pecheux held 
for queens and sevens, but Mokrani had turned a full house with 
. Pecheux was left with 1,000 but would bust on the very next hand.
