Default RE: occurence at Taj poker table

Having said all that: The only rule that matters is Rule #1 under "Decision-Making":

1. Management reserves the right to make decisions in the spirit of fairness, even if a strict interpretation of the rules may indicate a different ruling.

This lady had the best hand. She gets the pot. If we need to back up the action to get her chips in first, that's fine, since there was no significant action occuring after her turn to act.

In all cases, all effort should be made to ensure the best hand gets the pot. Looking to kill the best hand because of a ticky-tack thing like this is not remotely "in the spirit of fairness".
