Hand Killed, Table Flips

A controversy erupted over on the high Green tables. A player was all in and another player called. Both players turned their cards over, and the raiser walked away, refusing to look at the board. The dealer, thinking that his cards were now dead, mucked his hand and started pushing the pot toward the other player.

That's when the controversy started. The floor was called and the players were asked what their hands were - but neither player could remember exactly what they were. Ultimately, the pot was reconstructed and then split between the two players.
