Commerce floor ruling

And what would have happened if I had stacked the pot and mixed it into my chips before the floor made a decision? Do they go up, look at the tape, and come tell me how many chips I have to take out of my stack and give to the EP guy?

Generally if there is uncertainty regarding who gets the pot or the amount of the pot that requires review of the tape, a good floor will impound the approximate amount of the pot, usually by placing the approximation in chip rack between the dealer and the drop hole. This prevents the player who wrongfully won the pot from leaving the table with the chips or losing the chips during the review (which takes about ten to fifteen minutes).
