Message: [QUOTE="dannystanks, post: 6976655, member: 1013007"] Ok this happened today at the Grand Poker Series, Las Vegas. We have been playing a couple hours by now, the blinds started at 100-200-200, 30 min levels, 40k to start out. Blinds are now 1000-2000-2000. EP1 opens for 5k. EP2 calls. Button calls. (Button is an elderly lady who has been super tight the whole game and who has been playing an honest game so far). Both blinds fold. Pot is 20k. Flop comes J-8-4 rainbow. EP1 checks EP2 checks Button checks Board in the turn is now J-8-4-2 EP1 bets 10k EP2 folds Dealer pushes the pot to EP1. EP 1 mucks cards and dealer puts them mixed up in the muck. Everyone at the table said the button is still in the hand. Before the dealer pushed the pot to EP1 she put out 10k for the call. EP1 didn’t stack the chips in his pile yet, they were there in front of him. The dealer apologized to EP1 and of course he called the floor immediately. Any guesses on the floor ruling?? Ruling. EP1 had to give up the entire pot because his hand is mucked. He doesn’t agree with the floor. Floor said, “it is up to the player to know who he is playing against and did not protect his hand. Even though it was the dealers fault his hand is in the muck and the button is the only one on the table with live cards so she wins. Next time pay attention”. EP1 was pretty pissed at that ruling calling it unfair and he doesn’t agree and doesn’t accept that ruling. Floor says “oh really, well here is what I am going to do. I am going to take that money out of your stack and put it in the buttons stack”. So he was pissed and we were trying to calm him down and saying just give it to her and move on. EP1 said he had QQ. The button who could have not said anything said she had KK lol. So the guy immediately went from pissed to relieve. How do you guys feel about the decision? I agree with it. Players really have to pay attention at all times. Also protect your hand! Good luck out there! [/QUOTE]
