Harris Gets Short End of Controversial Pot

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Terry Ring was allowed to survive due to a technicality.
Terry Ring was allowed to survive due to a technicality.

Just before break, a massive and controversial pot happened at Table 17.

Apparently, the flop had come {k-}{q-}{5-} and Terry Ring had bet 20,000. Lance Harris raised to 50,000, and Brian Zupancich went all in for just over 70,000.

"Alright, let's do it," Ring apparently said as he dropped some chips into the pot. Harris called, flipping {k-}{q-}, but Zupancich had the lead with {5-}{5-} for a set. Ring was in last with {a-}{a-}. Nobody improved on the last two streets, and Zupancich dragged the massive pot.

Harris collected what he presumed to be a side pot containing all of Ring's remaining chips, but Ring pointed out that he had never actually said all in. The floor was called, and the ruling was that since Ring never moved in, everyone had just called Zupancich's bet and Ring would retain his last 45,000. A disgusted Harris tossed the chips back into the middle, saying he thought Ring was all in and he was calling Ring's shove as well.
