This came up at another table in my tournament yesterday, and I feel like the floor got it wrong.
It was that unique situation where two players had the nuts, (I think they both had a K to make a 10-A straight) - are they obligated to be all in? My thinking would be no - you can't check with the nuts, but once somebody bets into you, you CAN call them.
But afterward, floor said no, you can't call the nuts either, you have to bet the nuts, meaning if two players have the nuts, they both have to bet and raise until it's all in.
That can't be right, can it?
