There was a side pot between Greenstein and Viox and there was a bet on every street. A bit of controversy arose when, after checking his river card, Wattel turned his entire hand face down and waited to muck. Greenstein was facing a bet from Viox and took issue with Wattel letting Viox know he had won the main pot as well. Barry eventually made the call and the players showed.
