In Taj cash games is the same the player is not dealt in if they are not in the seat, so the hand would have changed significantly had she been there to take cards and muck. You must use both hole cards at the Taj BBJ. Tournaments are dealt to any active stack (but at Taj tournaments do not participate in the BBJ). If the player gets cards they get a share of the BBJ. So if she saw cards, mucked and stepped away from the table she is in. But no cards, no $$$
