Is this unprofessional?

Title: Steve Brandvold Doubles Up Through Freddy Deeb -- After a Scare
Log: Steve Brandvold moves all in under the gun for a total of $59,000, and it's folded around to Freddy Deeb in the big blind, who calls with Ac-Js. Brandvold shows pocket kings (Kc-Kd), and he is in the lead. The flop comes 5c-3c-2h, and Brandvold is still in the lead, though Deeb flopped a gut-shot straight draw and a runner-runner flush draw. The turn card is the 7h, and Brandvold closes his eyes as the river card is shown. Tournament Director Jack McClelland announces the last card as a four, and Brandvold just sits quietly with his eyes close.


Then Jack says, "I'm just kidding. It's a two." At this point Brandvold snaps wide awake, scanning the board to see the truth for himself. He sees that the river card was indeed the two of clubs, and his kings held up to win the hand. There's a brief flash of confused anger before the joyful relief spreads across his face, and he joins the crowd in a good laugh.


Steve Brandvold survives to double up to about $140,000 in chips.
