I'll admit here that I haven't really thought this through, but was the announcement necessarily to Badbomen's detriment?
To clarify, Tlsouto was shoving ATC every hand, while Badbomen was waiting to get something good enough to call off, correct? (I'm actually asking, so if I'm misunderstanding the situation, please tell me.)
Suppose Badbomen was playing too tight of a calling range, and thus was folding too many hands. Overall, Tlsouto's repeated all-ins will just pad his chip stack. And assuming Badbomen doesn't adjust accordingly, he's just burning equity. Then the reminder comes in. Pyefacepoker tells both people that there is still $10K at stake. Tlsouto stops moving in with every hand, and in doing so, he negates the advantage he was enjoying with his shove-happy play (even if he was reaping the edge unwittingly).
In that case, the warning helped Badbomen and hurt Tlsouto, right?
Again, this is mostly top-of-my-head thinking as I type this. If I'm wrong, I'd like to know why. My point is that Pyefacepoker did not necessarily hamper Badbomen's equity. Unfortunately, I don't know how experienced Badbomen is and, more importantly, how much of a handle he has on the correct calling range there.

Reason: Also, "stated a verbal reminder..." Is it possible to state a non-verbal reminder in chat?
