(X) Jeff Lisandro completed on third street and Steven Stencil made the call. Stencil check-called a bet from Lisandro on fourth street and both players checked on fifth. Lisandro check-called bets from Stencil on sixth and seventh.
"You got me, soldier," said Lisandro, but Stencil snap-mucked his hand.
"I can't lay this one down... too big," he continued, as he showed a pair of nines.
A bit of a commotion ensued as several players wanted to have Stencil's hand turned face-up. Lisandro argued that it was the rule, meant to prevent chip-dumping-- that if he called the seventh street bet, he was entitled to see his opponent's hand.
"OK, if that's the way we're going to play it, that's fine," said Stencil as the dealer fished his cards out of the muck, revealing he had nothing but ace-high.
