Eddie Hearn looked down at his hand as first player to act and then mucked it. Unfortunately for Hearn he wasn't the first player to act -- he was the big blind. Hearn was required to put his big blind into the pot despite already having folded. The dealer at the table offered Hearn his cards back but David Steicke and Andrew Scott wouldn't hear of it.
"Take his cards," Scott instructed the dealer. "He already folded. It's unfortunate but it's the rule." Hearn did not protest as the dealer collected Hearn's cards for the second time. We'll never know if it would have mattered; a single preflop raise from early position took down the pot.
