Table 66 Gets Goofy

[user38368]

At Ishak Noyan's and Chris Ferguson's table, the dealer misdeals and Noyan only has a single king. Before they can return the cards and redeal, the table gets a little goofy. They decide to trade cards to improve their hands. Ferguson gives Noyan another king, giving him pocket kings. Somehow, we don't think that's in the TDA rules.
