In your linked video it's tough to make too much of a determination given the circumstances. It should be noted but no more than that. I went back to see how Sam cubed early in the match and it matched how he could be briefly considering a cube there. In other words, he left the dice down and cubed. If he would have put the dice in his cup and then considered doubling it could have been a hint of evidence that the two situations were handled differently.

Another thing of note is later in the video where Sam thinks his opponent makes an illegal move. There is still a brief hesitation in a position where it matters almost none anyway.

In the Culpepper v. Gordon match there were a couple of illegal moves. In the middle of the match an illegal play was made and they went to video to find and correct the illegal move. Here is the first illegal move that made it through the cracks. In the second instance shortly thereafter the audio hints something seemed wrong but it went uncorrected. Both illegal (all three if you count the one that was originally corrected) were made by Dennis and the two that stood were only small dings equity wise but clearly bad for him.
