All-In Confusion Dents The Kastle

After a raise from Rasmus Akerblom in middle position, the action folded to a player in the small blind who moved all in for his last 10,000 chips. The action was then with Casey Kastle, who grabbed the special "All-In" disc, which is used by the dealers at the APT events to indicate when a player is all in, and tossed it in front of him saying nothing.

The dealer then attempted to confirm with Kastle that he was indeed all in, and Kastle hesistated - perhaps just realizing that the big stack of Akerblom was still to act behind him.

Again Kastle was asked for confirmation and he asked what his options were at this point and if he was to be held to an all-in since he had said nothing.

The floor was called and the ruling was simple. Since Kastle had thrown the "All In" disc in from of him, that was binding as an all-in move.

After the confusion, Akerblom quickly stepped aside and the cards were tabled.

Kastle: {10-Hearts}

Opponent:

The board fell {8-Clubs}

and Kastle loses the race to slip to 22,000.
