Quel checked seventh street and Taylor bet 12,000. Rainer called. Taylor showed his cards and had a pair of sevens for high and a 6-4-3-2-A for low. Rainer flipped over one of his three hole cards and exposed an 8 for a pair of eights to win the high. Quel didn't show his other two cards and Billy the Croc asked to see them. One card was exposed and the other was accidentaly pushed into the muck by the dealer. Paul Taylor felt that Quel's hand should have been killed. If any cards hit the muck, the rule is that the hand is declared dead. The TD came over and made a ruling. They said it was a dealer's error and that Quel should not be punished. He was awarded his half of the pot.
