The flop read 
. There was a chunky pot of 215,000 already in the middle. Asher Conniff checked from the big blind. Blake Bohn was under the gun and pushed forward a stack of big chips to force Conniff to risk his entire stack if he were to call.

"Either way we will both be fine. Life will go on" said Bohn in response. A few seconds later, Bohn called.

Feingold Put in Bizarre Spot
Level 17
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Howard Feingold was in the cutoff and checked his cards. Frank Pasquale was on his left on the button and claimed to have seen Feingold's cards when he peeled them in a loose manner. The floor was called to see if Feingold had to expose his cards to the whole table even though only Pasquale saw them.
The floor ruled that Feingold did indeed have to show the cards to everyone, which was the 
. Action was then on the boistrous Feingold and he now had to make a decision with his five big blind stack nearing the bubble.
"What a spot this is?" he said amongst several other animated reactions from him. Eventually, he moved all in after the clock was called on him. Pasquale thought for a little bit and folded. The blinds also got out of the way and Feingold was able to pick up the blinds despite all of the drama.
