Avraham Bramli, a live satellite qualifier from Israel, was not happy and the floor had to be called. On the river he had checked, his opponent Ziv Vachar also from Israel had bet and Bramli made the call. Bramli claimed that Vachar had tapped the table signifying good call and so had turned over his 
high hand. When Vacher turned over his hand for the winning middle pair, Bramli was incensed claiming that his opponents’ cards be mucked and he would never have shown first. The floor duly ruled that tapping the table was not an indication of anything in that situation, the two hands were live and the best hand one. Bramli was not best pleased but accepted the ruling without further fuss.
