Somone Confirm This...

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.

If the OP is the person that I think it is, I'm the one that told you this story.

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 loser had a hot gf. I took her up to my suite and SIIHP

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..

That poor soul was Al Krux, I believe this was in Bluff mag like a year ago if we're talking about the same story.
Seems kinda far fetched, esp. since the K was considered a burn since exposed and thus is dead. Wouldn't this somehow come into play, i.e. removing it and reshuffling? But then again, from my limited casino experience, the floor often makes retarded rulings so I dk...

1) The burn cards should have been under the pot and visible to the camera so they should have been able to pick the stub up without the burn and reshuffle it.

2) The dealer should have been able to hold the deck even if he was bumped.

3) Even if aces full of kings qualified for the bad beat the casino never would have awarded it. Security would have been called and seen that the deck was reshuffled.

4) If aces full of kings did qualify the dealer is fired on the spot.
