All,

I have a situation here, but I’ve used this system once only and I have posted this situation already, but can not find it anywhere, so if it is a repeat, please forgive.

Anyways, I’m going to give the Readers Digest version only.

Player UTG is chip leader and says “All in” pushes all his chips forward.  Player UTG decides to put his cards by the left of his chips unprotected.  Everyone folds and mucks accordingly, but at a rather fast pace.  The dealer sweeps up all the cards and accidentally sweeps up player UTG’s cards also and by now the cards are totally gone and mixed up with the muck.  The TD is standing in front of the table and watches everything unfold.  TD then says to complete the action.  Everyone folds including the button, SB, and BB.  Base on the Integrity of the game, what should the TD do about this satiation? And what call should be made?

A player starts the tournament in the small blind.  The player is not at the table for the first two or three hands.  When he arrives he realizes he was small blinded twice, it was also determined the big blind posted twice (but he won a hand) and the button didn’t move. 
What should be done for the guy that was the small blind twice?  Should he be just short the blind, or should an extra chip be put in to play and gave to him by the TD?

Hi all this is the first time I’ve written a post so hopefully it will be easy to understand.

The situation: 3 players left in a game with a substansial prize for a first place finish. Small blind says “All in, 23 on top” Big Blind says call and proceeds to put 2300 in the pot. Dealer has already folded. The flop is turned over before small blind realizes that big blind only put 2300 in the middle. The raise was actually 23,000, which had big blind covered and would have put him out if he lost.

BB said he would not have called had known the correct amount. My decision was for BB to lose the 2300 but not the rest of his stack. SB agrees with this and takes the pot.

The dealer, who as mentioned, was already out of the hand, disagrees very strongly with this decision, as he may have been one person closer to first place. He was very vocal about it before I had to tell him to back off. Once SB hears the dealers disagreement, he changes him opinion and asks for the whole stack. By this time all the cards are dead and chips have been mixed in all over the place. I told SM he couldn’t change his mind and to get back to playing cards.

What would you have done?
