Saw this in the Fitz EOM FT last night & curious as to what ruling you'd give.....
Blinds 5/10k (I think)
7 left.
Not sure of positions
(Seat 1) raises to 30k, folded around to player (IPBer) who announces all-in and pushes chips forward (31k).
Back to Seat 1 who doesn't seem to be paying attention and says "nah, I'll let you have it" & throws KJo face up in front of dealer. Most people not paying attention & a bit of chatting going on so I'm not sure who heard what he said.
IPBer turns over 66 but I think has kinda copped to whats going on. Dealer goes to put cards side by side & says "its only 1k more" as does another player at the table. I think other player has realised Seat 1 was trying to fold & wants a bustout (cant be sure - but decent money jumps).
IPBer says nothing (but I think kinda wanted to) & hand runs out with J high to bust him. Nothing is said.
Questions are -
A) Should I have said something? no
B) If it had of been argued by IPBer would you back them up or say nothing? I would say what I heard despite wanting a bustout
C) What do you think the ruling would be? God knows
Edit - in fairness to dealer I don't think she was listening to Seat 1 when he spoke as everyone obviously was anticipating a call.
Although its only a 9bb pot, ave stack is probably only 22bbs so with money on offer its still significant.
