Opinions on a live ruling/situation (EPT Barcelona)

[JDMcNugent7]

did the guy that won Have to show his hand?

[Robbie Robb]

One thing I noticed in this video is that the table has the line around it - assuming that, like most, this is the betting line. Does the same rule apply to cards as well? If cards cross it they are considered dead?

Video adds a lot. And I award ... Kicks in the nuts all the way around! In an extraordinary set of circumstances, both players AND the dealer were in the wrong.

De Wolfe should have tabled both cards. (Obv)

Dealer should not have tried to physically prevent De Wolfe from mucking prematurely (Wtf?)

Reinkemeier (whose name I screwed up in my last post) would have been classier had he not pounded the table in victory after winning the pot with the worst hand.

I suspect pot should still go to Reinkemeier. Cards were retrievable, but it sure seemed he had surrendered the hand.

[Invigilator]

Bam! No further analysis needed.

[Talking Poker]

Fantastic ruling. I wish you were the TD in this particular case.

[Reel Deal]

No, he did that to rub it in De Wolfe's face.

[JDMcNugent7]

god, then ya, they both acted like complete tools. Like why would u even show that u made such a horrible call?

[PShabi]

As Kurn hinted at above, he DID have to show. At least, he thought he did. When they start arguing about mucked/not mucked you can hear him immediately say, "I would NEVER show my cards..(if he hadn't mucked)."

[Windbreaker]

This hand is posted in 2+2....the player in the hand commented....he did NOT have to show...and he knew it.
