Ruling on suited pairs

[SkiGuyGT]

At my work we have a cheap NL cash game we play on breaks. Anyways there was a hand where one guy got a card from the 2nd deck we were using and floped a suited pair of queens. Well he made a flush on another player on the river which I suppose you would call a double queen high flush? Well when we all noticed this he of course wanted to keep the pot but the loser wanted to take back his share. Anyone know what the ruling on this situation would be?

Loser is definitely entitled to his share back.

That's definetly grounds for a mis-deal and if your friend gets huffy then ask him why he didn't speak up when he saw that he had a suited pair of queens.

misdeal.

In my opinion you would have to give everybody their money back. If anyone should loose money it is the guy with the two queens since he knew (as the only one in the game) from the start that he had an illegal hand and he choose not to say it which in my eyes is the same as cheating.

Assume that the dealer by mistake deals 3 cards to you in a hold 'em game As4hAc and you choose to put the 4 aside instead of demanding a new cards then you would be cheating I think your example is similar.
