its such a weird spot I have no clue what the proper ruling should be. I mean, 150k behind is a lot.
You wouldn't let two people decide to "each put in xxxx" and "run it out", but that is essentially what they did.
I don't feel like reading it all over again but there is a lot of fault to go around.
The "all in" guy first off. Then the dealer for not figuring out the proper bet in the 15 minutes Abe was tanking.
Abe asked the bet amount and how much was left so he should have known what was up. Nikoli apparently made comments to Abe to not reveal or talk about his hand to further indicate that if he called the hand the action wasn't complete.
Then all of them for turning their hand over. Would have been really interesting if Nikoli never turned his hand face up and then seen what he would have done on the flop and if Abe would have called if he shoved etc.
For how strict tourny rules are followed it will be interesting to hear the outcome and the penalties given out
