Should be OK, you could have poured a little of the wort into the 10ml which would in effect be another starter. If you dump a small bit of yeast in a large brew it can get "lost". If you add a small bit of wort to the yeast it is strong and can develop faster.

If the wort was up to temp and aerated well it should be fine.
