I had a situation that really upset a player that I am looking for an impartial ruling on:
-Five players left in the tournament.
-Player A is button, B is Small Blind, Player C Big Blind, etc, etc
-Blinds are 4K/8k
Player D folds
Player E calls 8K
Player A (button) calls 8K
Player B (small blind) folds (me)
Player C (big blind) raise to 24K
Player E folds
Player A(button) takes time to consider raise and calls the 24K
Player C(big blind and initial raiser) throws cards forward because he didn't see Player A call. However, cards did not touch the muck pile.
Upon seeing this, the dealer and myself rule that Player C's cards are still live. Cards are returned to Player C.
Flop is K 6 6
Player C pushes all in. Player A calls
Player C has A K
Player A has K 3
Turn and river are inconsequential.
Player C wins the showdown and Player A is out of the tournament.
Player A believes that the cards thrown forward by mistake should have been dead.
Please give me your opinion as to the ruling on this so we can make it right.
Thank you
