Level 5
: 150/300, 50 ante
A player in the small blind bet 2,000 on a board of 
, and Marty Gorenc called on the button. The small blind checked the 
river, and Gorenc turned his hand in a 360, appearing to flash at least one of his cards, before tossing a T5,000 chip in. The small blind asked for the floor to be called, and the ruling was a one-hand penalty for Gorenc but the bet would stand.
The small blind was less than pleased with this ruling, as he said he saw at least one card that was a club, and he believed Gorenc had tabled his hand. Nonetheless, the small blind mucked and Gorenc took the pot.
