The floor was called over, and eventually the supervisor, Charlie Cresi had to be summoned. He took a minute to survey the situation before making his ruling.
"It's definitely a dead hand," he said, indicating that it was impossible to retrieve the cards from the muck. "In essence, it's the player's responsibility to protect their cards," he added. The decision was made to save Rinoldi's tournament life though. Cresi ruled that a minimum raise -- 3,200 chips -- had to be taken out of Rinoldi's stack, and the pot was awarded to Chuang. Rinoldi was given a 10,200-chip rebate to use in another spot.
Rinoldi was unhappy with the decision, but he very easily could have lost his whole stack in the incident. "I'm making a ruling in fairness to the game," Cresi said. The dealer apologized profusely, though by the rules, Rinoldi was at-fault for failing to cap his cards to prevent them being prematurely mucked.
