At least one of the players at the table had pointed out that Schirmer's top two pair were still good for the pot, and that had lead to quite a stalemate, where Schirmer argued he did show down his hand while his opponent argued it was mucked.

Schirmer was awarded the pot, and though Scalzi and his team could finally move on and play resumed at the table, so did the argument.
