Question about mucked hands.

March 5, 2007 by Mhuggins1978.

I work in a charity poker room in New Hampshire and I ran across an odd situation this weekend and just wanted to get some feedback on my decision. The table in question was a single table sit n go. They were down to 4 players. The description of the action is based on what the dealer told me when the floor was called. The player under the gun moves all in. The player on the button looks at his hand for the first time has 3 cards he mucks his hand. At this time both blinds almost simultaneously throw their cards into the muck all 7 cards are unidentifiable. At this point the dealer calls the floor. I explained to the players that the hand with 3 cards is dead and the hand should have played out from that point but because the other players mucked their cards the pot goes to the player who was all in. Just curious what you guys would have done.
