On the first day of the Main Event Jamie Gold was in a three way large pot where first to act went all in after the turn, on a board of Q T 4 J, ( rainbow ). Second to act folded and Jamie asked him if he was folding AA and he admitted he was.  Jamie then told the first to act that he had a set ( he had pocket 4's) giving him the set. His opponent complained and the floor manager ruled that as there was only Jamie left to bet and there was no other action, he was within the rules and was not affecting anyone elses decision, therefore he was within the rules. Jamie Gold was about to lay it down but the demeanour of the first to act convinced him to call and first to act showed A Q. Jamie won and was never all in again for the rest of the tournament.
Personally I think the floor manager got it right and Jamies opponent should have had a better 'poker face'. However, if the complaint had been that Jamie had asked the second to act if he was laying down Aces and that he confirmed that he was, I believe that was a breach of the rules as Jamie now had more information prior to his decision than he should have had, courtesy of the second to act. 
I know this is a slightly different scenario to your question but I think it adds to the debate.
