Shakily, the Dealer Gets It Done

Chad Brown is now seated with Brock Parker and Mel Judah at a corner table in the Blue section. At a recent hand at their table, the under-the-gun player said, "Joke. Misdeal," before folding. Several more players folded in turn but the dealer became confused and dropped the stub, exposing several cards in the deck. Some players at the table believed at that point that the hand was indeed a mis-deal but Chad Brown was not one of them. He requested a floor for a ruling.

The floor that came to the table ruled a mis-deal, much to Brown's unhappiness and consternation. He requested that a supervisor come and make a ruling. That person did eventually arrive and ruled that the stub should be re-shuffled.

As the hand played out, Brown won three-quarters of the pot with {a-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {5-Diamonds} on a board of {7-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {3-Spades} {8-Clubs} {q-Diamonds}. The dealer had some problems quartering the pot, but with Brown's help eventually got it done. The table applauded.

"I'm from Florida," said the dealer. "We don't deal much Omaha."

For his part in the whole episode, the under-the-gun player said he had never intended to cause any problem. "I'm not saying another word," he promised.
