Correct Ruling?

[Fianchetto]

As you may have guessed the ruling went against me, and it was declared a misdeal. We were returned our money from the pot.

It just felt very wrong, so thanks for confirming that.

Anyway, I decided not to make a huge deal out of it since the offenders in this case were two of the biggest donators at the table.

However, I may speak to the floorman privately later.

This was at the Cal Grand.
