Garrett Forces River Fold
There was 22,000 in the pot on the river with a board of 
and Ian Steinman had bet 12,000 from the small blind into Russell Garrett, who was in the big blind. Garrett shoved all in over the top for about 65,000 and Steinman was in the tank. He eventually motioned to fold.
Upon doing so, he knocked over a stack of chips and in order to remove all doubt, quickly verbalized a fold long before any falling chip hit the felt. The table paused for a moment, and the dealer calmly reached over around the pile of chips to take Steinman's cards from in front of him in the one-seat and slide them over to the muck.
The chaotic verbalized fold sounded somewhat like a "whoa!" and Kelly Minkin stated she thought that's what Steinman had said, asking what transpired in the situation as she didn't hear the word fold but knew he hadn't called. The dealer and Steinman both confirmed the word "fold" was said as some laughter ensued.
"I had two kings. I probably should've called," said Steinman as Garrett raked in the pot and the dealer began to pitch the cards for the next hand.
