At TS a few months back, I reraised allin with AA from the BB and the LP raiser called. I didn't notice the dealer reaching over to rake my blind to the middle, and so when I flipped my cards over they bounced off his arm and almost landed face down in the muck. After I won the hand, the dealer informed me that had the cards landed in the muck, my hand would have been dead because no one would have seen the cards and it would be impossible to know which cards were actually mine.

Now I believe in the JC Tran situation this ruling is irrelevant because his opponent showed his cards prior to flicking them away. I'm just curious to know if the ruling the TS dealer gave me was in fact correct.
