I muck Kings up made on the river, and realize it shortly thereafter.

Re: Tough lesson learned re: mucking after showdown in a B&M game
 

A week ago, my last night in Vegas, I was playing the $2/$4 game at the Golden Nugget. By the river I was heads up with a lady in seat 4 (I was in seat 7 and not in her direct line of sight). On the river, she bet out and I called with a hand I was pretty sure was beaten (busted draw or something like that). Seat 4 mucked her hand face down!! My eyes bug wide open as the dealer pushes the pot to me and I slide my cards to him face down. The lady in seat 4 leans forward to look at me and says, "I thought everyone folded." I had been playing pretty tight all night, but was doing absolutely nothing to attempt to hide the fact that I was still in the hand. Sometimes, inattention works in your favor.

He stood up, yelled "SHIP IT", tossed his aces on the table and watched helplessly as one of them continued to the other side of the table, up & over the rail, and onto the floor. Dead hand.

If both Aces were face-up and one flew off, would the hand still be dead? It's pretty hard to miss it being an A, and I imagine several players would confirm...

No, still dead. The whole table saw it. There was no mistaking what the hand was. A rule is a rule.
