Mucked cards are back in the news at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) after a player retrieved his hand from the muck on Day 1a of the Main Event, only to promptly bust to a cooler.
The hand occurred during Level 3 of the $10,000 buy-in World Championship event — the blinds at 200/400. PokerNews live reporter Liam Gannon captured a hand that left a player screaming expletives on the way out the door.
