Straight
Scenario:
Two players heads up in a live casino tourney.
At the river player A bets and player B mumbles something unknown under his breath and then places cards face up on the table without moving any chips in. No one knows whether he called or mucked face-up.
Dealer fails to clarify before player A shows winning hand.
Dealer moves pot towards player A. Moments later player B passes player A the "call amount" from the bet on the river.
Question: Could player B have claimed to have mucked and not actually handed over those remaining chips?
In this actual situation, the dealer was asked by player C (out of the hand) what happened and the dealer confirmed he didn't know if it was a call or a muck.
Obviously poor dealing but I'm curious to know the official rule here?
