Mike Matt's told me about this incident this afternoon

Say what? I thought he was at MGM. How does he know about this incident?
But for me, I'm happy to close it and let it lie. Bally's rule book and Robert's Rules both seem to support that you let stand the results of playing with a 51-card deck. I got bad beaten for a $500 pot by a 2 out of 45 outter instead of what would have been a 2 out of 46er. Not a problem long as the rules also state that this is the case.

The results of a short deck should stand. The reason is a less than ethical player could lose a card on the floor. He can now freeroll the game by noticing the card on the floor if it gives him back his money.
