I think one time he moved all-in and the other guy was thinking for some time. Phil flips over AA and the other guy folds. Phil showed, because in a tournament you want to win the most chips. The WSOP then changed their rules to prevent this.
So in the WSOP, is showing your cards while your chips are in play without announcing your intent allowed?
