We recently arrived to find Ben Pockett shoving all in for 29,300 on the turn of a 
board against one opponent. The player went deep into the tank, taking several minutes before opting to surrender their hand. With that, the chips went to Pockett who is starting to rebuild after being on the decline throughout the day.

We recently arrived at the aftermath what ended up being an confusing situation.
As far as we could tell, it was a three way all in with Luke Edwards having 
and two opponents having 
and 
and the board showing 
board on the felt - meaning Edwards had made a flush to win the hand. Edwards had both his opponents covered and so it looked like a double elimination.
The player with the pocket sixes left the tournament area, but the other player had chips remaining despite Edwards having him covered.
The dealer sent the pot to Edwards, which prompted Edwards to say, "It was all in," gesturing to the other player's stack.
"I never said all in," the player said.
"But we were all in," Edwards replied. "We turned our cards over preflop."
Apparently Edwards had opened with a raise, the player with the sixes had moved his short stack all in and the other player had called. Edwards then claimed to have moved all in, but apparently only said "Im not going anywhere," as he put chips forward, but not his whole stack.
Edwards and the player with the sixes then turned their cards over and then, apparently confused, the other player also turned their cards over.
The board was then run out and then Edwards found out what went down.
Because of this, Edwards lost his chance to bet with his live opponent, but ultimately the TD ruling was that nothing could be done and the dealer was warned to be more careful in the future to ensure players are all on the same page.
Regardless, Edwards is up to a six-figure stack after being as low as 20,000 at one stage.
