Eugene Fouksman started the action by open-shoving from the cutoff and action passed to Garry Gates on the button. Gates thought for a moment and then he shoved all in, having Fouksman covered. Then Ryan Eriquezzo was in the big blind and announced a call with the opportunity to knockout two players.
Eriquezzo:
Gates:
Fouksman:
The board ran and Eriquezzo eliminated Gates and Fouksman.
"All in," Eugene Fouksman blurted out of turn.
"Whoa! Whoa!" the dealer called out.
David Zeitlin had not acted yet, and was very confused at what was going on. He tanked for a few seconds then raised to 170,000.
"Changed action?" Fouksman verified with a floor person, who nodded.
Foulksman folded, and so too did the blinds. Zeitlin showed two aces, much to the surprise of the table. Had Zeitlin just called, Foulksman's chips would've been committed because the action hadn't changed. Zeitlin was frustrated, but didn't seem to let it bother him too much.
