I think the family of the guy that got pancaked would beg to differ. It always matters who's at fault. Always.

I definitely think that the dealer was at most fault here, but when are people going to learn to protect their cards...

It amazes me of how many times this has happened (I guess in this case it was quite extreme), and people still don't protect their hands a lot of the times.

I see this on TV and when playing live... Just wondering when will people learn to avoid and not even give a chance for a spot like that to come up.

Show me the rule of poker that says that you need to protect your hand in case a dealer isn't following the action properly.

Sure, protecting your hand is a good idea.
But.....

It's an idea. Not a rule. Players in badly organised games may want to protect to combat dealer and player mistakes, but this is the WSOP ffs.

If I ever have that dealer, I'm going to put my cards in a transparent briefcase, handcuff it to my wrist and give the key to the TD.

If you have to place the blame on one person it would be the dealer but its partly Denis' fault too

You are incredibly incorrect here. It is absolutely a rule that it's the players responsibility to project their own hand. How could you not know this?

This is the entire reason that the blame lie's with the player in this case, because it's the player's responsibility. Yes, the dealer should have seen the all in chip stack and yes he shouldn't have mucked her cards. And clearly he has some of the blame here but the lion's share goes to the player, hence the rule.

this tilts me.

obv dealers fault. player moves all in - players cards are pretty much behind her chips.

protecting your hand is a good idea. if you dont, there are rules that apply.

Quote:
74. If a dealer kills an unprotected hand, the player will have no redress and will not be entitled to his or her money back. An exception would be if a player raised and his or her raise had not been called yet, he or she would be entitled to receive his or her raise back.
and
Quote:
89. All chips put into the pot in turn stay in the pot. If a player has raised and his or her hand is killed before the raise is called, the player may be entitled to the raise back, but will forfeit the amount of the call. Any chips put into the pot out of turn fall under the action "may or may not be binding" Rule 90.
its simple enough... protect your hand. dealer still deserves a KITN imo.


edit: ppl say there is a rule 'players must protect their hand at all times.' please show me this rule or gtfo

She shoved in, put her hands under the table to get ready to see what JC was going to do [just like when someone shoves and stands up]
Then the dealer sees her stack is almost in the MIDDLE of the table and dodges the chips lmfao..... wtf is that crap.
Then takes her card.

the dealer should at least be fired for his inability to keep up with a hand. sure she wasn't protecting her cards, but the dealer was clearly daydreaming and not following the action as is hopefully stated in his job description.

Your entire effing stack in front of your cards should be ample 'protection'

Worst dealer ever

Are you kidding me? Protecting cards is one thing but this is just on a completely different level. He physically reached around her stack to grab her cards, and she was all in so had no chips to put on her cards.

Completely ridiculous, awful dealing. Sure she could have/should have had a protector, but no matter how you slice it, this is nothing short of THE F DO dealing.

this sort of result probably hurts the poker economy a lot more than something like ultimate bet's cheating scandal

why would a new player think they have a fair shot to win a poker tournament if it has a bunch of rules that can result in you shoving all in, and the dealer mucking your cards, regardless of what you were doing after the shove? it just looks like a trick to the new player

particularly in a tourney like this, the casino should refund the buy-in to the player when the casino caused the hand to be be mucked

Could you see the same outcome happening to a name pro in this scenario? Imagine Hellmuth in his all-in pose, face buried in his palms after a shove and the dealer proceeds to muck his cards. You can GUARANTEE the ensuing hissy-fit would result in a different outcome. Now THAT would have been awesome TV.

What I meant by my analogy was no matter whose fault something is, if the damage can't be undone it doesn't help undo it to know guy A was at fault more then guy B.

If the dealer would have said at 3:10 of this clip "Oh no miss, I made a huge mistake and thought you had folded and put your cards in the middle of this pile even though you have all your chips a quarter foot in front of your cards. I screwed up and should go back to cooking fries at Mickey D's" she still has a dead hand.

Put a hand on your cards like JC Tran and it's all good. And if you don't got hands, use a foot.

What would have been the new outcome? The cards are 100% mixed in with other cards. Even as bad as some people say WSOP staff is, I don't see them looking through the entire pile and pulling out a hand

To everyone that is saying it's her fault, she should protect her hand, blah blah blah, I hope this happens to you sometime in the future. Clearly the dealer is at fault here. If this happened to me, he'd have a broken hand, my hand would have been retrievable, I would have gotten a penalty for talking some **** to the dealer and never would have tipped at WSOP ever again.

The title of the poll should be "who is most at fault the dealer or the player?" because they both are clearly wrong.She did not protect her cards and he was not paying sufficient attention.Unfortunate situation but ultimately I would say she is more responsible.However flaky a dealer is ,this would never happen to a top pro they would never leave their cards exposed like that.

The dealer is more at fault than her, obviously. Not every live poker player reads 2p2 or has had their hand killed by a terrible dealer like this one. The vast majority of players trust the dealers to be competent and not **** up, which is wrong obviously. And lol at her whispering to the floor man that she had pocket aces and the floorman goes through the muck to find them, and can't find them. Sorry ma'am, your hand is dead.

It won't happen to me b/c I protect my hand when playing live poker. If she didn't make an error the dealer's error would've never been possible.

Can't vote, would have voted for:

o Tournament directors for failing to inform every player that card protectors are mandatory

Seriously. There are so many online players in that tourney who think card protectors are just lucky charms.

lol indeed, how much can it cost to install overhead cameras at every table. There is a good chance that they could have determined without a doubt which cards she held, so that the hand could have continued.
