Tournament is down to 5/269. Player A moves all in, Player B calls all in. Player A tables their hand, AsKc. Player B starts to table their hand and it catches the felt and both cards start to fly off table, video review shows that Player B did nothing out of ordinary and was attempting to table the hand appropriately. Player B is able to stop 1 card and it lands face up on the rail. Card 2 goes past rail, Player B catches the card in his hand, just above his lap.
Dealer unable to identify the two cards - other than they were both hearts.
Cards were AhQh.
What would you rule and why?
Thanks
