Whats the ruling here?
I could be wrong but I'll take a guess.
Both players will probably receive a penalty after the hand but both will still be able to play their hand which means one will probably iso all in on flop (probably whichever has the best equity on flop out of the two). To the all-in player it's kind of a good thing but also kind of bad. Good because one player should iso flop and he'll only have to beat one hand from there on. Bad because someone with say 9 high probably won't iso where in a normal situation they might with a semi-bluff. Even still though say the two face up hands are A3 and KQ on 789 and A3 iso's, if the all in player has TT he's only fading 1 over card now. I think it'd work in his favor more than not and can't see any way this will work strongly against him so don't see any reason a TD would not allow the two face-up players to act. If only one player turns their cards up the rest of the players get to play the rest of the hand out as normal (as does the face-up one) so when two players exposed their hand I can't see why this would change.
