$60 NL HE Deep Stacked: Is this a Muck?
I saw the absolute strangest poker ruling last night. Two buddies and myself are playing a $60 buy in MTT at the Borgata. The first break has just finished and my mate has a monster chip lead at his table. Hero is OTB with
He calls a 3bet from villain UTG holding
and the flop comes
Villain shoves and Hero calls for about 15% of his stack. Villain flips his trips and Hero says calmly, “Ah crap”, and tosses his cards about ½ way between his chips and the pot. The Ace is face down and the king face up. The turn and river comes
Villain is all happy until Hero flips over the Ace and Villain cries out that Hero had mucked his hand. After much review, they rule that the hand was mucked and Villain had won the hand.
I just don’t get it; the guy was all in, how could it have been a muck?
