hand mucked after it is exposed

[chopchoi]

This recently happened in a live MTT I was in. I don't remember what the cards were exactly, but they aren't really important, so I'll just make up what I can't remember.

pf: player 1 is all-in, player 2 calls, and has him covered. Both players turn over their cards. player #1 has 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Player 2 has
K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. The flop is 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Player 1 mucks his hand as the dealr deals the turn and river, both of which are diamonds.

Who takes the pot?

this isn't even remotely close to the right forum.

player #2. Player #1 is gone as soon as he mucks.

Player 1 mucked his hand. He's ineligible to win the pot.
