Default Re: Help -- I have NEVER seen this happen before.

My question is if somebody points out the dealer did burn one too many cards and the floor is called, what should the decision be? The players we're all-in, so the dealer putting out the incorrect turn and river did not affect action.

If someone points it out as it happening the "correct" card should be dealt. If the cards are dealt and then it is noticed it is too late to correct it for 2 reasons. (1) There existance of an extra burn card does not tell us when the extra burn was made, only that it was made (might have burned twice before the flop, noway to know). (2)Allowing a playing to point out the wrong card is dealt after the card is dealt allows that player too much leverage; if it was a card they liked they could overlook the error, but point it out if they wanted a different card.
