first things first, you were in a sit and go, not a cash game. people always call 'em that lol, just gets confusing.
your hand is definitely dead. once you've mucked it you can't claim any of the pot.
in a tournament at a showdown let's say this happens: one guy says 'straight' and the other guy mucks his 2 pair, then at the showdown it turns out the guy who said 'straight' was mistaken and he's got nothing but K high, he will still take the pot because the other hand has been mucked.
once you were both all in both hands should have been straight on their backs anyway, as this was a tournament and not a cash (ring) game. the only time you are allowed to muck in an all in situation in a tournament is when there are no more cards to come (after the river) [and i think that's only if you were the one who called the all-in or something]
do not underestimate the power of the muck! |
