Possibly to have a player call his "all in" and flip their cards over. If he wins the pot when they actually get it in on the flop, he can argue that his opponent deserves a 3 hand penalty for exposing their cards (if assessed at that casino, I know it is at mine). If the opponent has to sit out 3 hands, that's one less player to go through and free antes. It works best if those hands involve their blinds.
I made this mistake once (not vs Doug). Final two tables, I raised UTG with KK to 10k, guy pushes his entire stack forward and says call (which I didn't hear), folds back to me and I say "Call" and flip my hand up. He had 11k total and wasn't all in yet. We get the last 1k in, he hits an ace and I sit out my BB, SB and button which ate ~1/3 of my remaining stack. Yes this was my fault, but if Doug is trying to do this intentionally it's super shady.
