3 of a Kind
Recently at a player dealt tourney we had this situation come up. Pre flop there is a bet and four calls including the small and big blind. Flop comes, first two players check, next player bets, small blind folds and the dealer scoops both the small and big blinds cards up and they go into the muck.
Obviously, big blind is upset and calls for a mis deal. Dealer says she thought big blind folded too. People debate whether to play on or declare a mis deal. I ruled that play should continue and big blinds hand is dead.
I have seen the small blinds hand get scooped many times over the years but never the big blind. I do not think the dealer did this with any malice so let's rule that out and say this was just an error. Thoughts?
