"Floor!"

[user4144]

Some players don't need all seven cards, such was the case in a recent encounter involving George Danzer, Scott Clements and an unknown player who I shall shamelessly refer to as Mr X.

When I joined the drama, the hands were as follows:

Danzer = {A-Clubs}

Clements = {A-Spades}

Mr X =

Now the astute members of our audience may have noticed that Mr X only has six cards, and you'd be right in your observation, as somehow he missed one of the streets.

As a result, the floor was inevitably called, with the ruling being that the burn cards would be shuffled and Mr X allocated a final card. Fortunately, Mr X, who was all in at the time, already had the low, but could have scooped the lot with an ace or a six to make a straight.

In avoidance of any potential arguments or questioning of the rules, the final card was a harmless {9-Spades}
