Thanks for your answer Raf but there was one mistake. We never decided who won because once one of the queens touched the muck they ruled his hand dead and we were not able to see the flop turn and river. That should not change your answer much if at all I am guessing.

The Qs were face up when they happened to touch a mucked card? Awful decision if so.

A desperately bad ruling and an excellent reply from Raf backed up by some very good Genting rules.

Tomssss, I would ask the poker room staff concerned to have a good look at this thread and try to learn something (and maybe get a copy of the Genting rules )

I have no trouble mentioning the casino but I doubt that any of the people would ever get there, lol. It is one of a series of small casinos run by the Canadian government. It is called the Port Edward casino and the tournament series was called the Blue Water classic. I did try to discuss it with the TD yesterday but was told that a rule is a rule and that he was not allowed to make any other decision. The circumstances were irrelevant as far as he was concerned. He said he had no interest in discussing it any more and he walked away. When I approached his boss he told me that he was not willing to discuss it either and if I did not like it he would refund my money for the final two tournaments. I accepted and did not play but since there was a long waiting list for both tournaments it did not cost them anything.

I checked with another TD at one of the other casinos managed by the same people and he said that there is no way he would have ruled the same way and that the decision was a joke. The Port Edward casino is famous(I found out) for doing everything in their power to make sure local people get all the breaks. Why I was getting the break in this case I don’t know but I am only looking for a fair game for all so I still don’t like it.

In retrospect I should have accepted the chips after voicing my displeasure and continued playing. I could then have cut the other party for a share. It was just that the TD was being such a Sh** head that I sort of lost it. I never raised my voice though and tried to appeal to logic but he just kept getting more and more belligerent. It was not a lot of money in the pool however and I play for fun. His attitude ruined any fun I would have had going forward so went he threatened to disqualify me I told him it still wasn’t right. He even gave me a count down to accepting the chips(like someone calling time)which I found hilarious.

Thanks everyone for the responses.

Lol, using your logic I would think everyone in England is Indian. I did a project in a small town in England and there was one fast food outland, one pub and 6 Indian restaurants. I think we have just about exhausted my outrage over this. Thanks for the responses.

I can't think offhand think of a more badly handled situation by any TD ever.
We are seriously considering inviting this TD onto the next YATTD panel as the borderline insane have been underrepresented since we lost Marty and Liam.
