Level 20 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

An middle position player opened for 17,000, MIchael Bennington called from the small blind and Eddy Sabat raised to 102,000 from the big blind. The original raiser folded and Bennington announced call, but tabled his hand. The problem was that Bennington wasn't all in and tabled his hand too early.

Bennington had about 35,000 behind and Sabat sat motionless until the floorman arrived. It was ruled that he had to play the rest of the hand with his cards face up and would earn a one round penalty for exposing his cards.

The flop came {5-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {2-Clubs} and Bennington then went all in. Sabat called and turned over {A-} {K-}. The board finished {K-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} and Sabat eliminated Bennington on one of the last few hands of the night.
