One-Card Controversy

We didn't catch the action, but we heard some debate over at Alex Keating's table and made our way over. From what we could tell, Keating held {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and had just doubled a short-stacked hijack opponent who held {K-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} on a {3-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{A-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{K-Spades} board.

Apparently, Keating was upset because the player on the button was only dealt one card preflop, one player had acted before anyone noticed, and the floor ruled that while the one card was dead, the other hands would play it out. Obviously the decision cost Keating, who was urged on by the player in the hijack who had just doubled: "He only had one card, how could I not try to get it all in."
