Default Re: IWTSTH drama, misreads - warning: long no moral to story

New guy wins and it isn't close. When you invoke IWTSTH with an appearent winner the other hands are live by rule. It doesn't matter if the delaer gets confused on which procedure to follow (touching a live hand to the muck to failing to touch a dead hand to the muck) if the appearent winner asks to see a hand it is live. The Hispanic guy probably shouldn't have grabbed the cards, but he was in a hurry and knew what the eventual outcome would be. The Hispanic guy did not violate one player to a hand because the cards need to be tabled, but the proper thing to do woudl ahve been to let the floor explain to the new player that he MUST show his cards at this time (or the casino woudl show them for him). The correct dealing procedure is to protect the muck and let him throw them forward so you can pick them up and show them.
