Before I saw the replay... I saw the look on his face at the 40 second mark of the video and I knew this was guy thinking "How am I about to get away with this," and that he definitely hand balled it.

Feel like I see this face after pots are scooped occasionally in poker. Not sure what I'm observing there but it's obvious... relief and surprise? Always make mental notes on what I observed in the hand previously as it's definitely a steal. Sometimes you see the face flash in multiway pots when the earlier aggressor folds on a later street and the bettor thinks other players aren't looking at him.
Also, telling the way the entire team huddled and were talking and peaking at the ref waiting for the inevitable call that never came. Reminded me a bit of a poker player turtling and peaking out hopefully as an opponent moves his hand towards the muck.
