Presumably the cardroom has some sort of rule about hands being dead if players leave the table, so:
TD is a fck idiot for thinking this rule applies in this situation.
Woman is a fck idiot for touching another players hand (fights have occured over this)
Player who stood up is a fck idiot and drama queen - its a £50 freezeout ffs
Dealer is a fck idiot as he should just have replaced the cards in front of the player and told woman to gtfo
The best ruling is for all involved to sign a legal document stating that they will take nothing to do with poker ever.
All of the above work for me.
I say if a fella did this he's outside before the cards touched the muck, particularly in Liverpool.
Place hasn't been the same since Cliffy the cardroom manager left - the others try but Cliffy called a spade a spade. On no, sorry, that's the reason he was sacked - what I meant to say was Cliffy ran the cardroom well.
