WIERD THING HAPPENED

Alright we were at a home game waiting for a third dealer to show up so we could open up another table. 1/2 n/l 200 max buy in. The guy finally shows up, opens a fresh deck, shuffles and deals. The very first hand was a total cooler for the # 3 seat. Straight flush VS Ace high flush no pairs on the board at the river. All the money goes in and the #3 seat has to rebuy on the very first hand. The next hand after the cards were dealt one player noticed he had a Joker. I had the rules of the game and a Joker in my hand. The dealer had forgotten to take them out before he shuffled and dealt!

Should that first hand have been a misdeal? Should the #3 seat have his 1st buy in returned?

As you can imagine the guy was pretty ticked off.
