From early position, Gabriele Lepore opened for 40,000. It folded to big blind Hon Cheong Lee who, because of being hidden partly in a big scarf, wasn't heard correctly when he started talking about a hand earlier. The dealer heard he said all in and tossed the all in triangle in front of him.
Lee instantly said he hadn't said all in, he had just talked about a hand earlier maybe mentioning those words. Lepore wasn't too sure what Lee was saying either and just showed his stack behind.
After about a minute or so, Lee now did move in. Lapore shook his head and folded.
