live 270+30 f.o.
13 left 11 paid (though tourney details don't really matter)
Dealer is dealing cards , as he deals the second card to the big blind player, utg+1 takes off his headphones to say "i think I saw that card, it was a black 4"
dealer gets a ruling, BB neither confirms nor denies.
ruling called for and TD says play is to continue as normal as anyone who gets shite cards could just take a stab at getting a misdeal by saying "ooh I saw him get a Ace or whatever" which is fair enough logic. HoweverThe TD also said "sure ye all have the same info" which is clearly not true at all. as the BB knows if he's right, and the utg+1 knows if he really saw it (hypotheticaly) - Is this the standard ruling here?
I felt it was unfair on the BB, as the guy who said it was so obviously being genuine and if the SB wasn't, lets say....middle-aged.. he would've shoved ATC since at his stage of the tourney the blinds and antes were very much worth taking! As it played the SB just went out about his business folding his 73 and the BB duly showed the 4
(although if I was the SB I would've shoved the 7 3 and been snapped by AA, to the sigh of , oh looked like a 4 )
