Request for a ruling

[jdeane]

I understand that in the spirit of the rule, cards would speak in this situation, since the cars only moved an inch, and you would want to award the pot to the correct person when possible. But according to the rule, if Player B mucked his hand (he should know to hold on to his card until he has the pot) as a result of Player A's actions, wouldn't Player A's hand be declared dead?
