Who gets the pot? - ruling please
Bushy just remember one thing.Pub poker is where alot of players start out now. It is the best thing for the game if you teach them correct procedures from the start. As Jonno says the integrity of the game is paramount, and you have the obligation as a TD to teach new players what this is all about. By you splitting the pot this time, you are setting an ugly precedent for these 2 players, any other player on that table as well as anybody that saw you let them do it. Now what happens when any one of these guys go and play in a bigger tourney for cash or prizes at a major card room and this happens? This is not a grey area nor is it a ruling that needed to make both parties happy. This is plain and simple black and white. A straight flush always beats a full house, therefore the straight flush which was tabled gets the pot.
