was this handled correctly?

Some will say the guy should have protected his hand better, but they're mostly the sort who'd say the same if an asteroid crashed through the roof of the cardroom onto their cards. "Oh, well, gotta protect your hand...never know when an asteroid's comin'..."

Reasonable effort. Every reasonable effort should be taken. I don't need a gold ingot on my cards. I DO need a gold ingot, though!

I like the way it was handled. While I don't trust anyone 100%, it was done honorably. The guy told someone what he had, and they pulled the card. The player who received the unexpected "gift" did try to improve his hand, since he didn't give up the correct card on the first try. (Caught that?).
