Flamingo Ruling

[ThinkQuick]

Three players to river, one all-in, so guy and gal are active.

Guy bets 50
gal says 'ok i fold' and as she is sliding her cards forward she says 'wait wait i call' and throws in her 50

guy tables his hand (low straight)
gal tables her hand (high straight (tho. didn't realize it (hence the 'tough' decision)

all-in guy tables his hand (high straight as well)

guy then argues that gal said she folded and her hand should be dead.


floor ruling: if no person was all-in, floor would have said that by accepting her action he allowed her hand to be alive.
However, since there was an additional person all-in that shouldn't be hurt by the guys' decision to accept her action (and hence lose half his pot), the floor decided that the woman could not call. therefore guy and gal got their 50 back and all-in guy took the pot.
