As played, I think casino procedure would be to keep the results as played if no one noticed anything until after the pot was pushed.
He did burn. It's just that he didn't notice that he burned and turned a river from the wrong deck until after. Not really sure how that happened. Like I said, this game has been spread for like 12 years now and this has never happened.
Just to clarify on the procedure, let's say player 1 starts with the button. He starts with the blue deck. Player to his left (let's call him player 2) has the red deck. Player 1 deals the hand. When the hand is over, he gathers up the cards and shuffles, while the button passes to player 2 and he can deal the red deck right away. As soon as player 1 is done shuffling the blue deck, he hands it to the player to the left of player 2 (currently the small blind) so that they're ready to go as soon as the hand that player 2 is dealing is over.
So that's the procedure. Deal the hand. Shuffle. Hand the cards 2 people to your left. It works pretty cleanly. I guess what must've happened is when the guy handed the deck over, it was physically between player 2 and 3
And player 2 also has a habit of not holding the deck while he deals. He picks up the deck, burns and turns, and then puts the deck down. Probably half the guys in the game do that, even though I've told them time and time again to just hold on to the ****ing deck until the hand is over. Go fig.
