Message: [QUOTE="kharrast, post: 1738189, member: 80971"] I usually keep my cards in my hand so I didn't think I needed a card protector. This will change today. On May 5, 2011 I was playing in the Jacksonvile Florida poker room (St. Johns) in a 100 dollar deep stack tourney starting with 18 people and 6000 chips each. After 3 hours 6 of us remained. I was by far the chip leader with about 36,000 in chips. The blinds were at 1,200 +100 ante. Several people were down to two or three big blinds. The one remaining aggressive player (villain) was in the cuttoff with about 13,000 in chips. I was under the gun and had 88. I just called and the 2 others limped behind me. Then the villain raised to three thousand something. The button, small, and big all folded. Sensing the steal attempt, I said I'm all in. The dealer announced my all in and the rest of the table folded around to the aggressive guy. He said, "I call" with his remaining 8000 in chips and turned over AQ. I took my hands off my cards to push in my chips and the dealer (Chris) while gathering the other players folded cards with his right hand reached out with his left hand and grabbed my cards and mucked them. I said, "what are you doing!" The dealer looked at the top two cards to see if they were my cards but the 88 had gone irretrievably into the middle of the muck. The floor was called and they ruled that not only did I lose what was in the pot already but I had to pay off the guys "all in" call! "What!" The ruling cost me the lead, doubled up the other player, and sent me on huge tilt. My 88 was over 50% against the villain and if I won the hand I would have knocked off the toughest player and had half the chips in play against the last 5 week players. Instead the villain player who doubled up got the chip lead and put me out about 3 hands later. What really pissed me off is the player was allowed to decide whether to take just what was in the pot or to enforce his call of my all in. He chose to enforce his call robbing me of an extra 8000 in chips. What a *****. What do you all think of the ruling? [/QUOTE]
