my friend had a hand against jennifer tilly on day 2 where there was a 5 card straight on the board and she checks to him on the river and he bets about $20,000 chips and she calls.. he shows his cards (no ace) and she tosses her cards into the muck. Everyone at the table pushed them back to her and told her "no ! no! dont do that! your card can be considered dead". My friend was too dumb to call over the tournament director and get the hand declared dead [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

The hand wouldnt be declared dead if the TD was called over.

Why not? Once the cards touch the muck they are dead.
