Brutal indeed… however, was one of the other 4s missing, or were there 53 cards in the deck? If the former, the fouled deck didn’t really change the results of the hand, so the ruling was probably fair. However if there was an extra 4, that seems like a really terrible ruling.

I have seen a fouled deck like this with a pretty experienced dealer. They don’t always pay close enough attention when setting and washing a new deck. It’s unfortunate, but of all the mistakes made from inexperience, I’m not sure this one is a good example.
