I had this happen, not in my primary (it was very close to being in mine, happened quickly at the end of a game when things were moving quickly and we were all hustling around). I saw what could have been intentional, and which I probably would have called intentional because it just seemed a bit much. My partner, who had it, didn't call it intentional. Next time out, I said "I would have been with you on that one if you'd called it intentional." and that was it.
