In our last hold'em game, a hand was played all the way to the river with two completely different decks. Everybody's hole cards were dealt from the blue deck and the dealer accidentaly grabbed the pre-shuffled red deck to deal the board. Nobody noticed the problem until the river and three betting rounds had already taken place when a card on the board was the same as one in their hand.
The TD declared a misdeal and all hands dead. Thankfully everyone at the table pretty much remembered the sequence of betting and how much each player had in the pot so we were able to return all chips to their rightful owners. It was decided that the decks will remain separate to prevent further confusion.
So I'm curious about a few questions:
1) Was the proper protocol followed? We couldn't find this exact example in our copy of Robert's, and none of us knew it well enough to apply the foundation of an existing rule to this scenario.
2) What if there had been an argument or confusion over how much each player had in the pot?
Thanks.
