What's the Rule?

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

We just stumbled upon a controversy when a player in position didn't want to be the first to flip his cards at the showdown. The quarrel at the table triggered the discussion on who should be the first to show their cards. The player called the floor in order to find out what the exact rule was in such case.

The floor explained that according to the official EPT rules, the last aggressor should be the one to show their cards first. The player agreed to do so and opened a pair of queens and collected the pot as his opponent muck the hand.

Last year's EPT Prague third place finisher Nicolas Levi, who was sitting at the next table said that the new rule was that the last aggressor could also force their opponent to show their cards. However, the floor made no comment on whether this was true or not.
