Jean-Noel Thorel had bet 25,000 on a 
flop and Rocco Palumbo moved all in for 95,300. Thorel immediately announced a call, however, John Juanda was yet to act behind Palumbo.
Juanda gave it some thought before calling, which technically meant Thorel's verbal declaration would stand as the action didn't change. The French genius didn't mind it and quickly put the rest of his chips in.
Rocco Palumbo: 
John Juanda: 
Jean-Noel Thorel: 
"Let's chop it up!," laughed Juanda, who went in with the best of it. The 
on the turn, however, completed Palumbo's flush and left the others drawing dead, rendering the 
river moot. Thorel directly went for a reentry, Juanda was left with 10 big blinds.
