Lapse in Attention Ends Zaman's Tournament

Nível 16 : 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Jerome Zerbib moved all-in for 51,000 from middle position, and action folded around to Vincent Zaman in the small blind.

Zaman said "call" and flicked forward two T-1000 chips. Zaman was alerted to the action before him and told that it was likely he had to call the all-in bet. Zaman argued that he was obviously intending to just call the 4,000 chip big blind and hadn't paid attention to Zerbib's all-in.

The floor was called over and it was confirmed that Zaman would have to call the 51,000, which left him with just over 30,000 behind.

From there, Francois Gozzelino moved all-in from the big blind, covering Zaman.

Zaman frustratedly just shoved forward the rest of his chips, uttering some choice words regarding the situation.

Jerome Zerbib:
Vincent Zaman:
Francois Gozzelino:

The board came , giving Gozzelino the victory and a double knockout, as Zaman stormed out of the tournament area.
