I disagree. Capping cards is not a requirement, and several other players haven't capped (especially the low-blind position who is to the left of the guy eating something) when you look @ the 8-10 second mark. Generally speaking, your cards need to be shoved further away than where she had them.


The reach required for the dealer to pick up the cards should have been enough to signal that she wanted to keep the hand. He should have at least checked, seeing as how this is a major tournament.

^ Agreed-Sad to have to have to depend on a sharp dealer, the house decision had to stand though, eh? He asked her for the cards she had (whispered), he grabbed the stuff after the dealer had man-handled it, not the same cards-she took the whole debacle well.

Also, because she announced what her cards were, it changes the odds on the table for all players.

He said women are a cancer.

I would have straight slapped the shit out of that dealer. $32k loss because he wasn't paying attention ya I would have been in handcuffs in the next 10mins and he would have been out cold.

I've seen people lose their hands for leaving their cards too far out before. The rule is that you have to keep your cards behind your chip stack, which they were. She was all in, so her chip stack was farther out than usual, but her cards were sitting a little far out there. The best place to keep them up against the rail of the table.

I was in a charity tournament once and a dealer screwed me. I was sitting in the same seat she was, to the right of the dealer too. On the flop I made a bet, the guy sitting to the left raised, and everyone else folded. When he raised, he announced raise and stuck a stack of chips in. On the next card I was going to bet enough to put him all in anyway because he didn't have much left and I had a good hand. The dealer thought the other guy went all in. I guess he thought that because the guy put the stack of chips out and his arm was blocking the few chips he had left, but the guy said raise, not all in. So the dealer dealt the turn and river. When the dealer realized the other guy wasn't all in, the guy said he was going all in anyway, and I called. We both turned our cards over, I had the winning hand, but the dealer took back the turn and river cards and dealt two more which then gave the other guy the winning hand. Everybody at the table was like WTF dealer. We both went all in based on what was on the table, then he re-deals. Technically he could have re-dealt the river card since we didn't get a chance to bet before it, but the turn card was good.

@jimnms
No matter how you bet, it wouldn't have changed the way the cards came out. Wtf indeed. Sorry you got screwed buddy.

Well I'd ask for a new dealer. Since it'd be foolish to keep playing with someone who just fucked you over, and the dealer isn't the one bringing cash or TV crews to the casino.


People who handle money get fired for losing pennies, costing someone 30+ grand should be your one mistake before it's your ass.

Robert's Rules of Poker (the rule book for every poker event in history) reads

II. You must protect your own hand at all times. Your cards may be protected with your hands, a chip, or other object placed on top of them. If you fail to protect your hand, you will have no redress if it becomes fouled or the dealer accidentally kills it. http://www.texasholdem-poker.com/roberts_rules_of_poker/irregularities

Considering what these people do for a living I'd be suspicious of any 'accident' especially when she tells everyone what she was holding.

What @Duckman33 said. I keep my fingers on my cards constantly, especially when I'm playing for real money.

@Duckman33 I stand corrected, see rule #99: http://www.wsop.com/2012/2012-WSOP-Rules.pdf

I still say it's kind of a douche move by the dealer to not check though.

Agreed. I saw this when it happened, and if it were me I would have came unglued. Even though it would have been my fault, I still would have been that pissed he didn't even ask first. But I always use a card protector so I shouldn't have this problem. <knocks on wood>

This wasn't in Deadwood!
