You Make the Call, Part 2

Shak played a pot in position against one opponent. After the flop came down, Shak inadvertently bet 7,000 out of turn. His opponent was supposed to act first. The dealer told Shak that the 7,000 must stay in the pot, even after Shak's opponent moved all in for 52,000 and Shak folded. Shak protested that he didn't think that was correct, but the 7,000 went to his opponent anyway.
By the time a floor was summoned to the table, a flop was already out for the next hand. The floor ruled that Shak should have been entitled to the 7,000 but because the table was already on the next hand there was nothing he could do. Shak said that couldn't be right; the floor said he would bring a director over to the table.
A few hands later a director came to give a final ruling. Shak pointed out that neither he nor his opponent had played a single pot since the disputed hand. The director went over all the action with the whole table. He ruled that because Shak's opponent moved all in, rather than checking and allowing Shak's 7,000-chip bet to stand, Shak was entitled to pull the 7,000 back. Therefore 7,000 was returned from his opponent to Shak.
