Lost His Stack And Now He's Back

A situation just occurred on table 230 in the Brasilia room where there was an all-in showdown between {A-?} {10-?} and {A-?} {J-?} and the board came out {A-?} {K-?} {Q-?} {8-?} {8-?}. The player with {A-?} {10-?} thought he had lost and the dealer began to push the pot to the other player's stack.

It wasn't until he was half-way out of the door that one of the other players realised the pot should've been a chop and managed to get him to come back. The floor was called and eventually the short stack got his 925 chips back, no doubt he'll have put them all back in shortly though...
