Hot on the heels of his one-orbit penalty, Ryan D'Angelo has been involved in another dispute on Green #1. D'Angelo has his stack of over 200,000 chips spread in a large pyramid in front of his seat. On his big blind, his cards were dealt to the tip of the pyramid near the center of the table. D'Angelo turned away from the table for a moment. When he turned back, there was a raise to him but the dealer had already mucked his hand.

A floorperson was called, who ruled that D'Angelo's hand was dead.

"But I'm in the big blind," D'Angelo protested. "I haven't acted yet."

"I'm sorry," the floorperson responded. "The dealer killed your hand."

"So dealers can just kill hands now?"

"He made a mistake," said the floorperson. "I will instruct him to be more careful in the future due to the size of your stack, but your current hand is dead."
