WSOP Lesson #1: Protect your hole cards at all times.
On the first hand at Table 3, a bit of commotion broke out. Parviz Razavian was under the gun, and he didn't really take full possession of his cards. As a result, the deale reached over and mucked his hand after pitching the cards. Razavian was confused. He complained to the dealer, and the dealer said that the cards were out in front of the player as if he had folded.
David Gray spoke up from across the table. "Well, if that's where you dealt them..." he trailed off. "Only take them if you're sure." There was some discussion about calling the floor, but Razavian and the rest of the table decided to continue on with the hand. "That probably cost you the Main Event," Gray said tongue-in-cheek.
