Title: For the high jump Post by: TightEnd on May 15, 2008, 01:52:19 PM It's a big pot on a final table....after the river card the 1st player pushes, and is called
as the first player is turning over his cards having been called, an associate of his who is much the worse for wear, jumps over the rope seperating the final table from the assembled railers and picks up second players cards, throwing them face down into the muck You are called upon to make a ruling This is a true story from an Eastern European event recently Over to you. Title: Re: For the high jump Post by: gatso on May 15, 2008, 01:56:46 PM as it's in Eastern Europe I first have the friend taken outside and shot.
then take the 2nd player aside and ask him for his exact holding, hopefully his 2 cards are together in the muck so we can be certain they were his and we can continue with a common sense showdown. where was this?

Title: Re: For the high jump Post by: Solver on May 15, 2008, 05:00:22 PM Split the pot was the ruling. If a dealer accidentally mucks your hand it's the players fault. I guess same argument could be made that the player must protect their hand. But given the description of events protecting your hand doesn't sound that easy. Cards should never come out a muck in professional tourney in my mind so fair decision. |
