Um....I thought phones were allowed in cash games, is this not the case at Rio cash games?

I'm not aware of any room in Vegas in which somebody's hand would be declared dead in this situation.

In many rooms, dealers will not deal you in if you're on the phone. If you start talking in the middle of a hand, they usually ask you to discontinue the conversation and play the hand.

I'm not familiar with any specific rule at the Rio. But, I like the ruling which was made.

Um...I also thought chopping a pot headsup in a cashgame is allowed

You can chop blinds. But, after others have put money into a pot, you can't bet opponents out and then chop with whoever is remaining.
