Somone Confirm This...

[eljizzle]

I just heard a story that supposedly tonight at Bellagio, in a 5/10 NL game, that a King was exposed during the deal and was, as is the procedure, made the burn card...nevertheless, one player was dealt AA and another dealt KK...supposedly both players had a set by the turn (with the KK having no flush outs and thus drawing dead) and while the dealer was righting the pot, he or she was bumped, dropped the deck and it was impossible to distinguish the burn cards from the rest....a ruling was made that ALL the cards were to be reshuffled and the river laid...if you've made it this far in the story, you realize that the river was the case king..

can anyone confirm this? or dismiss it as nonsense...if this is true it could be one of the most insane things i've ever heard.

sick if true.

i once saw dudes at commerce run it 3 times in a big pot - one guy was drawing to 3 outs and hit one each time.

sounds insane, TJ wrote a similar story in the back of one of his books about a man being dealt TT with both tens accounted for. when someone knocked the deck off the table the same ruling was given, and then tens won when they should have been drawing dead.

Is there a badbeat jackpot? That should qualify...

I can confirm this. I was doing coinflips for rolls at a 200/400 table at the time. I heard the excitment and went over. Management was clueless, so I offered my interpretation of Robert's and house rules.

The 5/10 game is on the other side of the room compared to the 200/400 game. I kinda find that hard to believe..

Story sounds fake, but if it's true the dealer needs to find a new job.

The guy with AA would speak up because one of the burn cards is known and the results of the hand are already known, it's just a formality to put another card out there. It is the floor managers responsibility to protect the integrity of the game as much as possibly and it is clear that he failed to do that.

EDIT: Also, I forgot to mention, it's part of the dealers responsibility to protect the burn cards. That is why they are usually placed under the pot in some fashion, there is no way the deck could be confused with protected burn cards.

i've this happen before and usually they don't shuffle the burn cards back in the deck, but that was canterbury, so who knows what the correct ruling is.

also, every cardroom seems to have different rules, and every floor person seems to have different interpretations of those rules.
