A lot of players and railbirds gathered because everyone knew that he would be called in at least one spot, as his push was just 1,000 more than the big blind. The media, fans, and other players saw Luc Greenwood in middle position raise to 15,000. This forced out everyone else and they waited for all hands at other tables to finish before showing what they had.
