Of course, there's an inquiry and the result stands. I had no dog in the fight but I can't imagine that being an infraction that's allowable across the board.

I had a $5 WP on the 3. If the roles were reversed there is no way they let a 55-1 take half the field out on the turn and still leave him up to win.
