Norman Calls On Technicality
Some controversy brewed up over on one of the tables in the back of the stage area after Nadezhda Magnus moved all in from the cutoff seat for 52,500 and action fell on Donald Norman in the big blind. Norman flashed the 
from his hand and said, "I hate this part of the tournament; all in, all in, all in." before tossing in his hand. The dealer thought Norman said all in and pushed his hand back to him. The floor was then called over and it was ruled that because Norman said, "all in" after he said, "I hate this part of the torunament," he had to move all in. Fortunately for him though, he did have Magnus covered so he couldn't be eliminated. Unfortunately, his 
was crushed by Magnus' 
.
The board ran out 
and Norman was forced to pay the bet on a technicality. He was left with about 100,000 chips.
