what if someone died midway through a live hand?
 

So here's the scenario. Somebody is involved in a big hand in a B&M game. There is already a lot in the pot but he still has quite a bit behind. What if the guy suddenly has a heart attack?

Best option would be for him to be treated all in with the chips he has in the pot already like when you disconnect online imo

not a good idea, after a while many players would start abusing it by pretending they are dead when they want a free showdown.

Re: what if someone died midway through a live hand?
 

In the episode called "Revenge Is Best Served Cold" (premiere episode of Season 3)
In the plot of this episode, a man playing poker for hours suddenly drops dead from unknown causes. Tetrahydrozoline, which is said to be the active ingredient in eye drops, is found mysteriously present in his drink. A woman poker player at the same table is seen on the casino's security cameras as having been putting eye drops in her eyes regularly during the entire time of the poker game. But there's no way she could've put her eye drops into the dead man's drink without the security camera seeing.
They then track the Tetrahydrozoline down to a waitress who brought the man his drink. The waitress admits she put her eye drops, (another brand than the woman poker player - but neither brands were specifically referred to as Visine). According to the woman, she put the eye drops in the old poker player's drink, to try to give him diarrhea

Dude died from lead poisoning from eating too much chocolate. I've seen that episode like 3 times and I don't think there is ever a resolution on the money in the pot. I know they played out the hand and the guy who died sucks out on the river.

Re: what if someone died midway through a live hand?
 

Didn't Barry Greenstein's book mentioned that at least one time this happened somewhere and the player was declared all-in?

I believe so.

Re: what if someone died midway through a live hand?
 

but if the dead player doesn't table his hand (both cards face up on the table), obviously it needs to be considered folded.

Re: what if someone died midway through a live hand?
 

Does it matter if dead guy craps his pants? Seems like this could be important.

WTF, the guy is dead. Money is of no use to him and his wife is now rich from the life insurance settlement. His hand is DEAD.

if he won the hand, he won the hand. no rule saying you have to be alive

Re: what if someone died midway through a live hand?
 

rule says you have to table your hand.

he didn't do that. so, he is folded.

Re: what if someone died midway through a live hand?
 

but if he was treated as all-in due to being dead, surely the dealer would table his hand for him. DUCY?

Re: what if someone died midway through a live hand?
 

Beat: Robert Goulet can no longer table his hands.
