"I can't--I have to deal it out." "This isn't a tournament, just kill his hand and push me the pot--it's over; I have the only live hand so we're done." "I have to finish dealing the board." Other player at this point reaches out and takes his cards back and tables them. Sigh. No, he's not drawing dead. He didn't get there, though. This dealer later grabbed me and apologized, saying she checked with the floor and was told she blew it.

In a cash game, it's over when you're down to one guy holding cards. You do not deal it out--that's the equivalent of rabbit hunting. No good can come of it.

Good story, Bav. Eloquently illustrates why the mucked hand should be mucked and the hand ended immediatly...in a cash game.

In a tourney, though, I'm with Bo: You can't muck during an all-in, hands should be tabled, and the board run out. Collusion, chip-dumping, yakety-schmakety.

One room I work at pays High Hand Jackpots Monte Carlo Board style.

I had a situation where a two players were heads up one of them all-in so there was no further action. After the turn one player showed a set and the other mucked. After I pushed the pot and had mixed the board into the muck the player started complaining .... he wanted a river to see if he made his quads.

After this incident the management decided that in this scenario if the player had asked for the river card in a more timely manner they should get to see the rest of the board for their chance at quads since all action was complete when the other player mucked.
