Ante-Gate Revisited

"Floor person, table nine!" came the shout from the far side of the room. Walking over there, the dealer was in the middle of the deal, so we were curious to find out what the problem was.

When the floorman arrived, the dealer told him that they were missing one ante from the pot, and nobody at the table could figure out who the culprit was. "Okay... we'll have to be more careful, please," instructed the the man with the neatly-pressed suit. "Please, let's be more careful."

"I don't think it's a problem for anyone here at the table," said one of the players; indeed everyone was chuckling lightly and in generally good spirits about the small mix-up.

"Oh yeah?" Andy Bloch piped up. "Where's Jeff Lisandro??" Bloch's reference to "Ante-gate" involving Lisandro and Prahlad Friedman drew a big laugh from the table as they got down to the task of actually playing the hand in progress.
