Pump Up The Volume

The floor was called to a table where on a four heart, double paired board, a player had announced that he was all in and threw out a 5,000 chip. His opponent, wearing headphones, threw out a 5,000 chip as well not realizing that the other player was all in. He tabled the ace high flush but it was no good as his opponent had a full house with his pocket eights.

The player with the flush tried to dispute the all in call but the floor ruled that since the player announced his intention and the dealer repeated it that the call was an all in call not just a call of the 5,000. That was enough to eliminate the player and perhaps give him a very hard earned lesson on not "pumping up the volume."
