Interesting hand
1.10pm: Didn't get Cater fully
Cater Phillips just lost a big pot but it could've been a lot worse for our recent EPT Barcelona champion. The river was out giving us a 5-3-10-3-7 board. Phillips led for 9,050 before his opponent moved all-in. Phillips thought it was a call and tabled A-A which was losing to his opponent's 5-5 for a full house. The floor was called and the ruling was that Phillips' hand was dead as he exposed it out of turn, thus he lost no more chips. He now had 15,000 left to work with.
The correct outcome seems to have occured here, but for the wrong reasons. Exposed hand shouldn't be killed. But the guy with 55 shouldn't have exposed until he was 100% sure he'd been called. So the AA guy should simply fold once he sees the 55.
That would apply to TDA/RRs. However, EPT seem to have their own rules. The only rule I could find says:
25. No player will be allowed to expose his or her cards during a hand.
But doesn't say what the specific punishment is. Later on under general possible punishments it lists having a hand declared dead as one of them.
So by their rules this is fine I guess. Will be careful not to expose my cards if I play an EPT!
And for what it's worth, I agree that exposed hands should be killed
(Shock! I'm disagreeing with RRs!)
