Cards released in a forward motion, face down or over and inside the 'betting line,' face down will be considered a 'folded/mucked hand.'
A Player may not retrieve a 'folded/mucked' hand once released.
Dealers may not retrieve and/or return the 'folded/mucked hand' to a player.
Players are responsible for holding onto their cards until the winner is declared. A player, who accidentally or intentionally folds/mucks their hand before the winning hand is determined, will forfeit his or her rights to be awarded the pot. The hand will be considered a 'folded/mucked hand' and declared a 'dead hand,' unless a player is 'all-in' and players are in a 'showdown' situation.
If a player is 'all in' or any player involved in the 'showdown,' accidentally or intentionally folds/mucks their hand before cards are turned 'face up,' the dealer must immediately bring this to the attention of a Floor Person or Tournament Director. Management reserves the right to retrieve the 'folded/mucked' cards, if the cards are clearly identifiable. Venues/ House Rules that are governed by juridical gaming laws pertaining to a retrievable rule shall apply.
