The Phantom Limp

Over on Jean-Robert Bellande's table a player busted before his small blind, so naturally in the next hand there was only supposed to be a big blind. However, while pitching the cards, the dealer asked Bellande to put out a big blind (even though he was technically the under the gun player) and he obliged. Action folded to the actual big blind who checked and then Bellande tried to put in raise thinking he was the big blind. The table was dumbfounded at the situation and rather than resolve it themselves the dealer called for the floor.
No answer.
Another player shouted to no avail and then Bellande too command belting, "CAN WE GET A FLOORPERSON THAT WILL RULE IN MY FAVOR PLEASE?!?!?!"
Finally a floorperson made it to the table and ruled that since Bellande's "blind" was posted after the first card was dealt, the hand was dead. Bellande showed 
before sending his cards into the muck and the hand was re-dealt with the proper blinds.
