Olivier Award for Acting

Interesting decision for Olivier Chaignard here, and not just because of the size of the pot and the fact that it ended up with a choice affecting his tournament life...

On a board of {4-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {8-Spades} the pot had swelled to 26k with a threebet preflop and action led by Stephane Benadiba thereafter. Now first to act Benadiba moved all in for 24k which covered Chaignard. He really took his time, and the rest of the table accommodated it. There was quite a bit of chat and a Q&A developed between Benadiba and Chaignard, although in swiftly-spoken French which I couldn't follow. There was more than a hint of "What do you have? I'll show if you fold if I show if you have Kings if I go all in do you call" etc. The usual.

In the end Chaignard made a reluctant looking fold, showing {Q-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} - only for Benadiba to show the twin {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}!

The table exploded into chat, but was interrupted by the T.D. who came over and gave a lengthy warning. The gist of it, as far as I could make out, was that you weren't allowed to ever say your real hand to your opponents and that something terrible would happen to you if in the course of regular banter and table-talk for information you actually said you had pocket Kings and then really did have pocket Kings. Everything else seems to go. Forgive me, T.D. if you read this and it was not what you were ruling/warning there, but I just thought it was a bizarre one if I've got the right end of the stick.
