Re: Calling the floor to replace a misdealt turn card?

But, again, since she didn't and if his hand won't become live again, does it matter any more?

Yes, indeed it does. Fish wasn't entitled to see the real turn card before making his decision to muck. Because the dealer lost control of the game and because he acted impulsively, he mucked stupidly. But if the illegitimate card stands, he didn't muck stupidly; he made a rational play with more information than he was entitled to.
It's a very standard procedure, and I agree with Angus -- even if I held the nut flush draw, I'd want to see it applied correctly for the good of the game. Angle shooting corrodes the game far beyond the value of one unlucky turn card.
Fish does has a bit of a beef that the dealer should have explained what was happening, though. Sounds like Foxwoods dealers haven't gotten any better. Playing in Tunica only reinforces my perception of how bad most (not all) are at FW.
