On the feature table the action was folded to John Juanda in the small blind who raised to 196,000. Sam Trickett was seated in the big blind and he assumed that Juanda was all in with this move.

Juanda was not all in and had 79,000 chips behind, something which Trickett found out about moments after he announced a call.
