Default Re: You make the call

[ QUOTE ]
2/3 $100 buyin at the bike. 4 players in the pot preflop with multiple raises finally capped by 3 of them going all in. Waiting for seat 7 to decide whether or not to call when seat 6 slides her cards across the table to seat 9 - who's not in the hand - for him to look at her cards. Seat 7 objects and asks for a floorman for a ruling.

**Note: seat 6 and 7 have the larger stacks and would have a side pot. The other 2 all in's have much smaller stacks.**

Now....you make the call. Floor rule to follow.

If I understand this correctly seat 6 is already all-in. Then she shows her cards to one player not in the hand before seat 7 (the only remaining player yet to act) has made his decision. As "youtalkfunny" stated elsewhere there is no real harm done; if anyone gains an advantage it is seat 7 (who may get a tell from seat 9). The hand plays on.

Of course the floor should have seat 6's hand automatically shown to all players (after seat 7 acts) since she did violate the "show one, show all" rule. That said, this is relatively minor infraction, compared with some of the stuff I've seen lately (not just at the Bike).
