and both players had their hands tabled.

Opponent: 
After the floor was called over PokerNews was able to catch up on all the action and this is what happened.
Maria Ho opened with a raise to 105,000 from middle position leaving 25,000 chips behind and action folded around to the small blind player who asked the dealer how much the raise was. After getting confirmation on the raise amount the small blind player announced "call" and the players tabled their hands. After the board ran out Ho assumed that since the players had tabled their hands she was getting an extra 25,000 since both players tabled their hands preflop, while her opponent was confused as he thought she was all in. The floors decision was that Ho's opponent accepted the action as soon as he tabled his hand and thus had to pay the extra 25,000 giving Ho the double up.
