Re: Question on a ruling in my WSOP (#8) event

No, if I got what I "deserved" by traditional rules, I "deserved" the entire pot.

Almost all rulebooks have a rule that states that a player loses any rights to the pot once the shuffle for the next hand begins. The common definition of the 'next hand' begins when the dealer is actually shuffling the cards, not washing them.
In your OP you stated: "He pushes his cards to the dealer who procedes to push me the pot and begins shuffle the cards (on the table, not riffling yet)."
That leads me to believe the dealer was not yet shuffling, which means that the next hand had not yet started and the pot could still be pushed to the 'correct' person.
Where the chips are is completely irrelevent. You could have put them into your pocket and it wouldnt matter. If the pot can be pushed to the right person according to the rules, it will be.
