LOL - my reputation as the resident live game rules nit precedes me :p

What [I]should [/I]have happened is that the dealer should've recognised the straight on the board, recognised that Player B was playing the board and then prevented Player A from mucking her hand on the basis that she was at least splitting the pot.

As a famous man called Cletus once said though, should'na but di'nna. So as it happened I can see arguments for a ruling in either direction - Player A mucked her hand in error and it's clear she's entitled to at least half the pot since Player B is playing the board. But at the same time it was [I]her[/I] mistake, nobody lied about the strength of their hand to make her fold* and the rules clearly say you need to show your cards to claim any part of the pot when you're playing the board.

Personally I'd just chop the pot. Player A is entitled to at least half of it whatever her cards were. Though there's a strong case to be made too that players this stupid deserve whatever happens to them.

[SIZE=1]* I'm assuming saying "I've got two pair" when there's a straight on the board really wasn't an angle shoot.  If it was AND it worked, then... well I guess we've just gotta say kudos sir, you really did find a sucker this time.[/SIZE]
