Home game ruling - was this guy a douche?
Drunk home tournament, extremely high stakes (we're talking 3 dollar buyin here, mkay?), going an hour or so, everyone is pretty smashed on cheap beer and doritos (balla), and this happens:
UTG guy who is a total newbie (we'll call him 'Bambi') calls UTG, folds round to douchy guy on the button (we'll call him 'Adolf') who raises 3xBB. Bambi calls. Flop comes K84 rainbow. Bambi checks, Adolf bets the pot, Bambi mulls it over and calls. Turn is a 2. Bambi checks, Adolf pots it, Bambi calls. River is an ace. Bambi checks, Adolf goes all in. Bambi looks confused and thinks for a good 2 minutes, before saying 'I call'.
Adolf instantly throws his J8 face up in the middle of the table, gestures to the pot and says 'take it'. Bambi says 'oh ok, cool!' and reaches for the pot, in doing so putting his Q10 face up on the table. Adolf goes apeshit, and starts saying 'my pot, my pot!' Brief argument ensues between Adolf and another player, with Bambi looking on bemusedly. Pot ends up being awarded to Adolf after a vote by the other players at the table.
My feeling was that the pot should have been Bambis. Whats the correct ruling?
