Home ruling help.
24 player tourn. Friendlyish game.
6 people left at 2 tables. Mid tournament.
UTG was shuffling at this tournament (for some reason).
Blinds are 1200-600 with 100 ante, we are using the RED deck.
UTG raises 5000. Everyone folds till the Big Blind. This entire time, UTG is shuffling the blue dbeck and shuffles his two RED cards into the “other” deck. He sees this and pulls them out. As he does this, he flips them up. Everyone sees t [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
The Big Blind is watching and does not look at his cards yet.
UTG says, “hand dead, take back all bets.”
Which is only the 6 antes, his 5K, the SB and the BB.
The table wants the hand mucked (since they were exposed) and all chips go to the BB, who has yet to look at his cards.
We call over the host who agrees that all T$ goes to the BB, but the BB ONLY 1200 from the raise. The 3800 (from the raise) goes back to UTG and everyone is happy. Everyone agrees. This was a very friendly game.
What is the correct ruling?
