its tuff - there is actually no specific rule in the
wsop rule guide about this that I can see, however I think the ruling was wrong if the circumstances are different. we use forward motion as well at my rooms, actually anything in front of your cards
jacks ruling wasnt terrible based on circumstances, the guy had no idea what was going on and I am sure was NOT playing an angle, and jack made a "best interest of the game" ruling which trumps any written rule...however, telling the other player at the end that he could not make such a move was a bad idea and made himself look awkward...something jack usually doesnt do...he should have just walked away, thats what i do the moment i make my ruling - i am not sure howd i rule this, i may have made same call knowing the player had no idea what he even did wrong
