Bav,

I don't want to get into discussing the dozen or so procedural errors but I'd lean toward giving AJ the pot. My reasons:

- The action was complete. What may have looked like a muck did not impact the other player's action (since he held on to his cards).

- Despite the commentary and speculation from non-involved players it is possible that the AJ hand would have figured things out on his own. And he did turn up the hand on his own.

- The AJ hand was clearly discernible.

Cliff Notes: In the case of a major multiple SNAFUs, try to award the pot to the best hand.

There would have been a very different outcome if someone had spoken up before the dealer finished dealing. As usual Rick is correct in that when the best hand has called all the bets they get the pot in virtually all cases.
