The river Jc gives our Hero an A high flush which is the nuts. There is about 60 in the pot when Villain leads 45 into me. I size up his stack and figure he has about 130 behind and I cover. I figure he might be able to get away from a shove so I try to go for what I call a tipping bet, an amount that if he calls will prompt him to tip all of his chips in. So I raise 70 to 115. It works, he excitedly shoves all of his chips in and immediately flips over top set. No verbal declaration, but there was definitely forward motion with all of his chips and most spilled across the line.
He's so excited that I'm worried that somehow I missed that he somehow has a boat, but there is no pair on board, so there was a brief pause on my part but certainly not anything that could be called a slow roll. I turn over my hand and show him the bad news. Then there's an awkward pause, and I think it's just everyone trying to read the situation, but there was still something wrong when realized I never called the shove. So I say I call, I still have my exposed cards in my possession.
The dealer sends me the pot but gives the last 60 back to the villain and rules that Villain only called.
I don't know, I'm certain I should have been given all of his chips, but wondered is there any other way to see this. I did not call for a ruling from the floor.
