Hi guys, I play at the ALEA casino in Glasgow every week and one of my friends had the following scenario on Wednesday night.
He's at the final table after tourney started with about 80 players. He raises 'all-in' for about 68k chips after the flop and all players fold except one player who announces 'call'.
At this point the player who called announces what a great board for his AQ, but then looks down to see his cards have been mucked by the dealer as he had pushed them over the line.
He challenges the dealer who then asks him what cards he had. He answers AQ. The dealer then takes the mucked cards to another table, searches through them till he finds an A and Q and brings them back to the table and gives the player his cards back who went on to win the hand and knock out my friend!
To me, this seems to be, on a scale of 1-10 for ridiculous decisions, about a 20!
I've been playing poker for over 15 years and never heard of this rule. As far as I was concerned it is up to the player to protect his cards, if they are mucked then they are dead. Especially when he has pushed his cards over the line, accidental or not....Has anyone ever heard of this rule?
