Kruger Shoves, Halat Calls?

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Leon Halat opened to 2,400 from under the gun and received calls from the players in the hijack and the cutoff, as well as Barry Kruger in the small blind. On the {4-Spades}{9-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop, Kruger jammed his last 10,200 into the pot. However, at the other end of the table, Halat thought he was first to act and began to bet at the same time as Kruger. Tournament director Jason Brooks was called over to hear the situation, and Brooks ruled that because Halat never released his chips he wouldn't be forced to call Kruger's bet. Halat folded, as did the other two players in the pot, and Kruger nearly doubled up without seeing a showdown.
