Player goes all in and leaves?
AleaLeedsCardRoom:
Right thanks, the reason I ask is because it happened in one of our cash games. In which when you are all in and betting is complete you do not have to table your hand enless you wish to claim the pot. So if the player is not there then what should happen?? As another player tabling the hand would not be one to a hand, and the dealer tabling the hand has many issues attached to it.
Stuart Murray:
errmm, big difference between tourney and cash as i'm sure your aware cash is just that it's one hand nothing before or after matters, tournaments the game is more important than the hand. I'm just trying to rack my brain about a good post similar regarding a cash game - when I find it i will post it up.
Okay bingo found the ruling about cash games and it is very different from tournaments as i suspected:

Great!!! Cheers, the second TD seems to confuse/contradict himself but a nice clear verdict:)
Stuart Murray:
lol I just noticed that myself, not like Thomas as he's one of the best in the world, ranking alongside Matt and Jack Effel! I would say he meant to write 'should be mucked'

Hello to all,
Here we go again....another unclear ruling. Stuart I looked at the post from the Hendon Mob and there were mixed responses one TD said the cards should be tabled, and that was only when the action got down to heads-up. How can we have players go all-in and leave the table and expect to compete for the pot? Tournament or not. What happens when there are multiple players in the hand? What happens to the proper order of showdown at the end of the hand? They actually have rules where a player suffering a heart attack, or other serious illness must still respond within a minute and ten seconds after they are put on the clock. Why should an absent player have more time? What will our tournaments become if we allow players to go all-in, and then leave the casino? Wouldn't it be easier and make more sense to change the rule? How's this one; If you go all-in, and leave the table, your hand will be mucked. Period!
