Yep... that's like the poster boy for string bets.The ruling was 100% right.
Honestly it was pretty clear he wanted to shove, but hesitated right when antonius announced "call".
arty:The ruling was 100% right. It's not about giving an impression of all in, because giving an impression means nothing. It would have been a string bet, because the player has to say all in before he puts any chips in, or push all your chips in at the same time.
I don't know the rules or w/e but I trust Antonius's judgement. If he's upset about it, it was wrong
