Re: Sticky Showdown Conundrum – I’m genuinely confused!
Hi Rick
I work as floor/TD in Vienna and although we do not have the IWTSTH rule we have a rule that states "a winning hand must be shown to receive the pot". The rule is strictly enforced in tournaments while in cashgames I instruct the dealers to only enforce it when requested by other players.
To answer your question under my rooms existing rules I would have the hand tabled. But I would rather rule that since player A did not show when he was supposed to he has forfeited his right to see player B's cards.
Regards,
