A short-stacked player in late position said "All-in" and started pushing his chips into the middle. Started to. Before he did the player in the small blind said "Call". Unfortunately, he didn't hear the all-in. And learned to his dismay that his verbal declaration was binding and he was on the hook for 28,000.
