A player asked Matt and me a very interesting question at the Bay 101 Tourney this weekend:
The hand is down to two players heads up. Player A is on the button. Post flop he should act last but instead he forgets and acts first, pushing all in.
Player B ponders for quite awhile then silently pushes all-in himself.
***********************************************************
How do you rule in this situation?
1: Accept Player B's bet as a binding call and proceed to showdown?
2: Release Player A from his out-of-turn bet, and give him all options: either pull his chips back and fold OR call Player B
What's your answer and why?
Many thanks to Mike Harvey for the question.
