If you could reveal the specifics without being so specific as to identify the dealer, I would love to know what happened.
In an alternate universe, this might have happened to me. I dealt a hand out in a room with standard Bad Beat rules in play: Both cards have to play, minimum of $20 in the pot, any quads or better have to lose.
The board has a pair of Aces and Sixes on it and both players are all in. Young man flips over AA, the immortal nuts. The older woman in the hand is ready to flip and I say "If you have sixes, everyone will be happy." And then she flips over sixes and the table went nuts.
It could be argued that what I said voided the hand even though the player was obviously going to flip them over whether I said anything or not. I sometimes imagine how that would have gone down and it's not pretty - the table hates me, I lose my license and job.
So I feel badly about the dealer in your room but maybe it can be a teaching moment... My guess is whatever he did was much more egregious but still.
