Two flops - right ruling?

If you had read his entire post, he said that the turn should be redealt and then the deck reshuffled. The table wouldn't have knowledge of the coming river card.

Yes, they potentially do. Now they know multiple burn cards. More than the 1 card allowed exposed to the table is out there. Doesn't work this way. The procedure for any irregularities with flops is to re-shuffle and deal the flop, or as I said, whatever the best interest of the game at the time is also the best solution.

We don't disagree often, Photoc, but we do this time.

Is forcing a chopped pot ever a good ruling? Aside from those rare cases where stuff is good and truly [censored] up. Seems like its a cop-out thats screwing one player.

Forcing a chop is never right, but I have seen many floormen ask the players if they want to chop. I once worked with a floorman that would always ask the players if they wanted to chop before ruling.

Don't know if it matters, but the dealer still had the cards only semi-fanned so the real turn card was easily discernible.

Also a semi-interesting note - had the hand played out, a 9 comes on the turn and river, filling up J9, who flopped top pair (and also 55, who flopped bottom set). This would have been a big action pot. Not that it matters as to the decision.
