Answer to trivia question:

Seat 1 is entitled to receive the amount of his raise back, and then his hand is dead.

The floor should also say "protect your hand next time, buddy" and do his best to soothe a probably-infuriated rhinocerous.

Besides firing the dealer?

Since seat 1 is allin, you take seat 1's cards out of the muck and play the hand out, which looks like why I'll never be a floorman.

The answer is simple.

Give Denny a Stone Cold Stunner, do 10 push-ups next to his carcass, give him the double bird, and take the prize money.

When2:

6 bets 200

1 all in for 900

dealer mucks seat 1s hand before you 6 is able to call

[Piers]

I had a similar ruling made in a tournament I was playing. The player mucked his hand rather than the dealer, but I assume it makes no difference.

Basically the ruling was seat 6 could either.

Muck and seat 1 wins the pot.

Call 200, and win 200 from seat 6 pus blinds.

Call 600 or raise and win the whole pot.

That assumes everyone else has folded.

Also the person with the mucked hand, subsequently reached into the muck and pulled two cards out and said these were mine. Do not know what difference that made?

[Jive Dadson]

Assuming the cardroom has the rule that the floorman is allowed to remedy unusual situations to protect the integrity of the game ... The floorman should ask seat six to write down what his cards were, and not allow anyone to see it except the floorman The floorman should then instruct the dealer to retrieve them from the muck. If the cards match, play continues. If not, seat six loses everything including the $900 bet, but is allowed to murder the dealer without penalty.

The hard-nosed decision is that seat six loses everything. However, I don't think players should have to be too worried about the dealer stealing their cards from them.
