Barisch Gets a Break, But Still Can't Capitalize

Carl Restifo raised first-in, making it 2,500 to go. Action passed to Martin Barisch, and he moved all in for about 17,000. Restifo made the call, but the dealer apparently mistook the action, thinking the hand had finished. She grabbed the already-mucked cards from the rest of the table and added them to the deck in her hands. The floor was called over, and the remaining deck had to be reshuffled before the board could be dealt out. While this was happening, the players who still had cards showed them down:

Restifo: {K-Clubs} {K-Spades}
Barisch: {A-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}

Interestingly, three players said that they folded an ace before the dealer moved them from the muck back in to the active deck. Barisch was at risk of elimination, and his best hope was to catch one of those second-chance aces.

No such luck for him though. The dealer spread the community cards: {9-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {3-Clubs}, and Barisch headed for the door.
