Sun Wins at Showdown in Bizarre Circumstances

Two players saw the turn board of A♦10♦3♦8♥ with 98,000 in the middle. Gajanthan Kamalanathan in the cutoff made a bet of 80,000 and was called by Song Hoi Sun on the button after using a time bank.

The 3♣ paired the board and Kamalanathan quietly announced all in and put two pink 25,000 chips over the line. The dealer didn't hear the verbal declaration and pointed to Sun and said 50,000 who snap-called.

Kamalanathan told the dealer that he announced all in and the dealer called the floor. The floor ruled that the action was not clear and obvious from the aggressor and the bet would remain at 50,000.

Kamalanathan tabled 9♦7♥ for a bluff, while Sun turned over K♦Q♦ for a flush and took down the pot. The debate continued at the table after the hand was over and the majority of the table agreed with the floor staff's judgment.
