Juan Manuel Pastor Eliminated
"Floor!"
Of course, the ruling was that the all-in stood, and Mestre could either call or fold. The hesitation proved that Mestre didn't have much to brag about, as it was only 20,200 more to call.

The board punished Pastor for his faux pas, the followed by a harmless turn and river.
Pastor exits in 37th place, but the following question will surely fester away in the back of his mind for a good few days yet...Would Mestre have folded if he hadn't seen the cards?
