My apologies. The hand is dead according to:
WSOP 2026 Rules:
https://t.co/Jnr528u0cH
Rule 80
80. Calling-for-clock: Once a reasonable amount of time has passed and a clock is called, Floor People may, in their sole discretion, give the Participant an additional 0 up to 25 seconds to make a decision. If action has not been taken when prompted by the Floor Person, there will be a 5-second countdown followed by a declaration or stopwatch alarm. If a Participant has not acted before the declaration or alarm sounds, the hand will be dead. Host Properties, in its sole and absolute discretion, reserves the right, at any time, to invoke a clock or speed up the amount of time allotted for a clock. Host Properties, in its sole and absolute discretion, reserves the right at any time to implement an Event-wide “player shot-clock” into any tournament at any point in that tournament’s structure. The player shot-clock is a device used to assign each Participant a pre-determined amount of time to make each decision during a hand. As a Participant makes a decision, the dealer will advance the device to the next Participant who will be given the same pre-determined amount of time for a decision. This process repeats until the conclusion of the hand. Any Participant intentionally stalling the progress of the game may be placed on a clock for all decisions moving forward. Participants unnecessarily calling the clock or stalling, including purposely depleting time banks to ladder up in the payout, may be subject to a reduced clock or incur a penalty in accordance with Rules 40, 113, and 114.
Rule 108
108. Protect Your Hand: Participants must always protect their own hands. A protected hand is defined as a hand sitting on the table surface with a card cap (see Rule 112) placed on top of the cards. If a dealer or Participant kills or fouls an unprotected hand, the Participant will have no redress and will not be entitled to his or her chips back that were wagered in the hand. If the Participant initiated a bet or raise and hasn’t been called, the uncalled bet or raise will be returned to the Participant. Your hand is declared dead if: ■ You fold or announce that you are folding when facing a bet or a raise. You throw your hand away in a forward motion causing another Participant to act behind you even if not facing a bet. Discarding non-tabled cards face down does not automatically kill them; a Participant may still table the cards if they remain 100% identifiable. Cards are killed by the dealer when pushed into the muck. In stud, when facing a bet, you pick your up-cards off the table, turn your up-cards facedown, or mix your up-cards and down-cards together. The hand does not contain the proper number of cards for that game, except at stud a hand missing the final card may be ruled live, and at lowball and draw high a hand with too few cards before the draw is live. In button games, the button may receive his or her final card, even if substantial action has occurred, unless he or she acts on the hand prior to receiving the final card. If he or she acts before receiving the final card, the hand is dead. You act on a hand with a joker as a hole-card in a game not using a joker. A Participant who acts on a hand without looking at a card assumes the liability of finding an improper card. You have the clock on you when facing a bet or raise and exceed the specified time limit. Due to the unique game play in Open-Face Chinese, dead hands for that game type are described in the rules governing that game.
According to the other players, this happened five seconds after the hand had already been declared dead. In those five seconds, the dealer was supposed to pick up the hand, award the pot, and begin shuffling for the next deal.
When it comes to angle shooting, the floor staff should be aware of this type of situation.
From a player’s perspective: You should only feel safe once the other players’ cards have touched the muck.
Why is the rule this strict? For the same reason it’s problematic when a player announces a call at the very last second. It can be extremely difficult to prove exactly what happened and who is in the right. However, if a player is still holding their cards, their hand is technically not dead.
What you should do is ask the TD to show the new official WSOP 2026 rules (which I haven’t read yet) and ask: If the floor announces that cards are dead, are they still dead even if they are in the possession of another player’s hand?
@stool_sample11@padspoker First of all, I'm a former TD. Second, once the floor declares the hand dead, the dealer should kill the hand as quickly as possible. If the player refuses or tries to drag out the time, the ruling will be in your favor.
