Action folded around to the blinds where Andre Crooks raised from the small. Tom Gity three-bet from the big, and Crooks slid the majority of his chips forward on a four-bet. It’s not clear whether he verbalized an all in or not, but both hands were tabled, and the all-in button was then placed in front of Crooks.

Crooks:
Gity:

The board ran out , and Crooks won the pot with a pair of eights.

At this point, Gity protested that he did not call the shove, but had intended to open-muck his hand. The floor was called. It was ruled that Gity accepted the all-in action, as he made no effort to protest as the hands were tabled, the all-in button was delivered, and the board was run out. He was therefore committed for Crooks’ full stack of 230,000. Gity asked for a second ruling, so the Tournament Director was summoned, and he upheld the initial ruling.

Crooks doubled up.

Andre Crooks – 468,000 (47 bb)
Tom Gity – 80,000 (8 bb)
