Onom Wins Regardless of Controversy

Altanulzii Onom opened the action with a raise to 5,000 in middle position and was called by Joel Verbeck in the small blind. The flop came and Verbeck checked. Onom made a continuation-bet of 5,000 and Verbeck called.

Both players checked the turn to bring the river and Verbeck put out a bet of 6,000. Onom dropped one T100 chip out onto the felt and quietly announced he was all in.

Verbeck thought Onom had called and tabled for the bluff. Meanwhile, Onom thought his shove had been called and tabled . The floor was called and four players at the table confirmed they heard Onom say he was all in, making that the ruling.

Verbeck folded, exclaiming the ruling was "bull shit." He chose to only commit the 6,000 either way and folded his tabled second-best hand. The pot was sent to Onom, resulting in the same outcome regardless of how it came to be.
