BIG AL:
Cash game 5/10
Twoo players in the heand.
Action after river.
Player A bet. Player B Call.
A says better on me and throws his cards face down. One on the players on the table see card and says you have straight why throw your cards? A use your cards and turn araund and really have straight. Player B says hi fold card pot is my!
What would a decision made?

Dave Miller:
That third player should have said nothing and should get a warning. If he starts to give any argument, tell him the "One player to a hand" rule. If that doesn't work, remind him that Phil Ivey folded a flush.

That said, as long as the cards were still identifiable and retrievable, the hand is live and the player who had prematurely mucked his straight should win the pot.

Max D:
I agree with Dave "as long as the cards were still identifiable and retrievable, the hand is live and the player who had prematurely mucked his straight wins the pot.  The hand is live and can only be killed by the dealer by pushing the card into the muck.

DutchTD076:
It depends on what the house rules are. If a "folding line" is used, the hand is dead when the cards are facedown past that line. If you don't use such a line, then the hand should be revived if teh cards are identifiable and retrieveable (no contact with the muck!!). 

Brian Vickers:
I want to add that the dealer should also be reminded to bring mucked cards into the muck pile ASAP and this situation can be avoided.
