Killing a hand

Created by LawDude on August 5, 2009

Definition

A ruling by a casino or card club that a hand is ineligible to win the pot.

Example

Player 1 doesn't notice that he is dealt 3 hole cards until after several players have bet and raised. At this point, the error cannot be corrected, so the dealer kills his hand.
