Chaaya-os

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Charles Chaaya probably doesn't know whether to be happy or incredibly cross. Simon Hanninger had opened to 1,000 preflop from early position with Omr Markovitch 3-betting to 2,500 in middle position.

Chaaya now moved all-in from the cutoff and got out of his seat and turned his back on the table, but when he turned around his hand had been mucked although no-one had seen what had happened and the dealer was adamant she did not muck his cards.

Kevin, the tournament director ruled the following: Because the hand was now in the muck and not retrievable Chaaya's hand was dead so he could not move all-in, but he would have to put in the 2,500 reraise.

As a result Hanniger set Markovitch all-in and the latter called with {10-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} behind to Hanniger's {K-Spades} {K-Clubs}. The board cam {5-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {6-Spades} and Markovitch was eliminated, Chaaya despite losing 2,500 without getting involved wasn't too upset, perhaps he would've been out if he had protected his cards?
