Moocher:
What would you do?

During a self deal tournament Player A. reaises and is called by Player B
and the dealer for the table (volunteer) who is in BB also calls.
Flop is dealt correctly and action results in 2 players all in vs the big stack.

The dealer then announces the he had collected the mucked cards and
mixed the deck with the cards probably on the top.

How would you proceed?

adilong1:
Re-deal and a smacked wrist for the dealer

hi_am_chris:
Pretty sure it would involve a shuffle of the deck and still dealing out the turn and river (the players that are still in the hand still have their cards? and the flop is still out?)

AMRN:
In my opinion, as there is no way of accurately separating the mucked cards from the deck, the pile should be shuffled, and the turn and river played as normal.

I don"t think the hand can be declared dead as so much legitimate action has occurred prior to the mistake having a bearing.

This - also statistically the odds don"t change, it"s always going to be a hard time to explain to the average person that it doesn"t matter but statistically having the cards shuffled back in doesn"t make any difference to the probability of the outcome.

This has happened 2 or 3 times in higher profile events - this has always been the consensus for the outcome.
