Don’t Check The Nuts On the River

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

The floor was called when two players had got to the river of a board reading {a-Spades}{3-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{k-Clubs}. There had been a bet, a raise, a re-raise and then just a call without all the chips going in the middle. The player who called showed {q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} and the other tabled {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}. It was a chop but the problem was that both players had the nuts, an unbeatable hand, and technically you are not allowed to do that to avoid the suspicion of soft play or collusion.

The player who called explained that he knew what the other player had and it would be chopped so he simply called. The usual penalty would be to sit out for one round but in this case, as there had been significant action, the player was just warned and allowed to continue.
