You make the call

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.**

I guess you missed the note Rick. I think this question is much more interesting than it seems because seat 6 can be pulling an angle here to block action on the side pot post flop.

What's the rule if seat 7 waits for the flop and possible side pot and seat 6 is forced to show her cards, which she'll have to do?

I think the rule should still apply to prevent this type of blocking angle. Seat 6's hand is exposed and play continues.

What? No. You would show Seat 6's hand AFTER the hand is over OR after all betting is complete whichever comes first. Seat 7 doesn't get to see Seat 6's hand while they both have chips. If Seat 9 was in the hand and still had chips, then yes.

Strong warning for seat 6, expose hand at the end, let's get on with it seat 7.
