Misdeal?

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

We heard shouting coming from Table 354, and upon inspection we found out that Christopher Hunichen was only dealt one card on the button. There was also an exposed card during the deal, and the dealer replaced the exposed card before giving Hunichen his second. The dealer then mucked Hunichen's hand, and kept going.

The hand was a simple raise-and-take, but Hunichen was going off.

"I can't just keep anteing off here!" he shouted.

"Sir," a floorperson responded. "You have to inform the dealer when something like this happens."

"I never had time!" Hunichen spat at him.

"It should've been a misdeal," John Andress piped up.

The floor did their best to calm Hunichen, but he was livid, and continued to grill the dealer even after the floor had left. A floorperson doubled back to offer one final warning.

"I can still hear you from across the room," the floorperson barked. "If you don't stop, you're going to get a penalty."

Hunichen fell silent, but still visibly upset with the decision made by the staff.
