Early All In...No Call but Still Interesting

Heads-up to the flop, cutoff David Lawrence bet out on the {A-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} {6-Hearts} flop, and button Dominic Kay threw in a calm 4,325 on top. A long pause, and then Lawrence said, "I call." The turn brought the {5-Hearts} , and again a small bet out from Lawrence. "Raise," said Kay, before measuring the call (3,000) and then considering the correct amount... he settled on a further 8,250.

Back to Lawrence, who then announced all in, which set Kay off on an internal monologue, externalized with these comments:

"Can you tell me if he's got me covered...oh, I've got him covered, but I don't want to get crippled [the bet for him to call 28,175]...Only sixes. When I raised, you looked disgusted, like you wanted to throw up..."

With no comment from his all-in opponent, eventually Kay tapped the table, giving up the large pot but remaining in contention.
