You have to be very diligent about the flow of the game (bet sizes, declarations, showdowns, etc.) when you get certain dealers at Harrah's New Orleans. Most are competent, but there are some relics whose jobs have to have their origins in the political hackery that brought the casino to the city in the first place. I'm not too surprised that something like this happened, though I'd be interested to know who the dealer and the floor person was in this case. And, for that matter, the regular who was shameless enough to accept the ruling.

I think forcing players to turn cards face up in all-in situations as they do in tournaments would prevent these kinds of screwups (and speed up the game).
