A player raises under the gun to 11,500, and Ed Fernandez calls from the button. The flop comes , his opponent bets 18,000, Fernandez raises to 55,000, his opponent moves all in for 79,700, and Fernandez folds, leaving himself with about 210,000 in chips. As the dealer is finishing up the hand, she lifts the winning cards up unusually high before mucking them -- high enough that several players could see the winner's hand. Everyone was a bit dumbfounded, and nothing was said, but the glances between the players seem to indicate that they'll be keeping an eye on the dealer in case it happens again.

Whats weirder, the dealer's conduct, or the fold for 24,700 by the reraiser (to a pot with over 186,000 chips)? Did Fernandez just make that move/bluff with absolutly no draw?

Usually it's just incorrect retelling of the hand/improper editing. The raise was probably 80k on top of the last raise, which is slightly more reasonable to fold to.
