Request for a ruling
Two players in the pot. Player A goes AI. Player B calls. Player A says "you got me" and pushes his cards about an inch forward.
Player B shows a pair of aces and starts raking the pot in. Player A turns over his cards to show he was bluffing.
Player C said "wait a minute, you have a straight."
Player B said that verbal statements are binding and as such the cards were folded.
A ruling was made that since player A had never actually put his cards into the muck pile and that they were still in front of him, the straight is good.
Was this a correct ruling, or not?
