Hello,
Here is the case: NL Hold’em tournament - blinds 15/30 - four players left at the turn - pot of 450 - player A bet 300 - B folds - C folds - player D his having his cards in the hand close to his face (probs of vision) - the dealer don’t see the cards of D (think he folded or wasn’t in anymore) and push the pot to A (a total of 750) - player A throws is cards to the muck and start mixing his chips - before the dealer restart shuffling the cards, D react and claim for his right to act because he still has his cards in the hand …!?!
Well I gave him reason and asked player A to give back (only) 450 to D (a kind of agreement because I could also ask A to give 750 right?). My arguments was that even if not seeing directly the cards, a pro dealer and a good player should have remember that D was still in the hand … AND … D reacted BEFORE the dealer started to shuffle the deck! I recommanded anyway to player D to let now his cards ON the table while playing.
What do you think?
