Floor to Table 23!

A quirky situation at Table 23 required a quick ruling from the tournament staff. After the deal was completed, two players in early position folded before the under-the-gun player acted. By the time the second player folded, small blind Dennis Huntly noticed that he had only been dealt one card.

Huntly requested a misdeal. Another player at the table protested that there had already been substantial action and that therefore Huntly's "hand" should be mucked.

"But the action was out of turn!" said an incredulous Huntly.

A supervisor was summoned to the table. He listened to the tale of the sticky situation as told by his dealer. After a moment of reflection, he ruled that Huntly should receive the top card off of the deck because the action had been out of turn.

In the end, it didn't matter; when action came around to Huntly he mucked his hand anyway.
