BB folds when facing no bet

(1/4) > >>

Ash:
Hi all

New case not exposed in the TDA

Preflop situation
No agressive action, only the blinds still in game, SB calls the BB, and the BB who is distracted folds his cards.
The dealer stops the game, doesn't touch the cards which stay perfectly recognizable, it clearly seems to be an unvoluntary fold, the player didn't say "fold" or anything,

The floor is called
How do you rule this?

Nick C:
Okay...I'll bite. I give the BB his cards back and the hand continues!

Ash:
A floor can rely on which rule to justify this decision?

BillM16:
According to Rule #58:

58:  Non-Standard Folds
Any time before the end of the final betting round, folding in turn if there’s no bet to you (ex: facing a check or first to act post-flop) or folding out of turn are binding folds subject to penalty.

So, the fold is binding and is subject to penalty.

Ash:
So Nick and Bill would rule this differently...
