Simple situation:Five players remain...final betting round.Alice bets 500Bill folds (No pun intended)Carl calls 500David calls 500 all-inEddy folds.Because David was all-in does the showdown rule apply for all players to table their hands?
Hello Nick,Since there is an all-in player at showdown, all live hands must be tabled.
16: Face Up for All-InsAll hands will be tabled without delay once a player is all-in and all betting action by all other players in the hand is complete. No player who is either all-in or has called all betting action may muck his or her hand without tabling. All hands in both the main and side pot(s)must be tabled and are live.See Illustration Addendum
Okay, I can certainly agree with that, but how many times does a player announce he or she is all-in when calling?
I agree. I'd like to see dealers take on a more meaningful role. Nothing like a well-trained dealer taking charge at the tables!
