Controversial ruling caught on live stream

Was it an angle shoot, or a joke? Judge for yourself with this hand that got the poker world talking over the weekend.

As has often been written on this site, the Live At The Bike cash game streams show a side of high stakes cash games you don't always see on the polished high production broadcasts, and that's a good thing. They show poker how it is played, or argued about, in card rooms all over the world. 

Case in point, this unusual hand where a player called 'Armenian Mike' slides a chip tray across the table then takes it back, claiming hit was a joke, but the rest of the table thinks otherwise: 

Here is video of the worst angle I've ever seen last night on @LiveAtTheBike

Ryan checks, Mike bets 10k on river, gets SNAP CALLED and says it is a JOKE. Floor rules that Ryan gets to decide what to do and Mike cries for 10 mins.

I'll be uploading a YT video on it later. pic.twitter.com/cDKhl2He2B

What really had the poker community up in arms was more the fact that the floor manager delegated the ruling decision to Mike's opponent Ryan Feldman, rather than do it himself, which Garrett Adelstein, who was at the table, brought up later on in this video.
