You must not know many gamblers. They’ll invent any insane story to explain why they lost, no matter how implausible.

I guess. What I don’t know is whether you can call a misdeal and cancel the round. But if you’re the one who’s not advantaged by the situation will probably be upset if you had a good hand. I suspected there are rules for such a scenario since Im sure it was not the first or last time occuring…

In a casino the hand would not be canceled for that. The card would just be burned.

In this game, the hand was rewound and nullified. I can't speak for what a legitimate casino would do.
