Three players had reached the river of a board reading . Jean Tepper was in the small blind, Toby Lewis in the big blind and Artem Litvinov in late position. Lewis checked and Litvinov checked saying ��Keep it nice and friendly.�� Tepper replied ��I can��t check.�� And bet 3,000. Lewis protested that he can��t bet as the other two payers in the hand had checked and he could be angle shooting. Tepper insisted he hadn��t checked and indeed no one would say that he had including the dealer. The floor was called and even though the floor agreed that he hadn��t checked it was ruled that because there was two lots of action behind he couldn��t bet. Tepper argued for a bit but in the end he took back the bet with good grace. Litvinov had but Lewis was ahead with . Tepper mucked his hand. Litvinov insisted he had saved himself 3,000 either way because Lewis would have had to fold and he would have snapped him of with his hand.
