Silver Level
This is a tournament, a $275 buy-in wsop satellite to be exact.
Blinds are mid level, we started with 10 and now down to 5, but most of this is insignificant to what happened.
Basically some heavy betting throughout the hand, the board rivers an ACE, making the board 10 J 10 J A. for two pair with top kicker on the board.
There are two players at showdown, Player A flips up his cards and reveals a K9 and says I play the board, Player B mucks his cards and says "I play the board too."
The dealer shoves the pot to Player A. Player B is upset that he didn't get to split the pot and calls the floor over for a ruling. He said he can not remember what his exact cards were, just that he didnt hit anything, and wanted to play the board.
Since I actually dealt this hand I know the answer, but what do you think the floor call was and why? Try to answer before you peek below.

Answer-
the floor agreed with the dealers decision, because in most places, including the WSOP, a player MUST table both cards in order to win a pot, even if they are playing the board, when B mucked his hand he was conceding the pot to Player A, once the dealer takes them in you can not retrieve them unless specific circumstances occur, which they did not here (knowing your exact hand). Just another reason to make sure you know ALL the rules when playing live.
