You make the call

So, first two players act very fast, call, call. Just as the dealer gives the Button two cards stuck together. Hand instantly dead?

Yeah, I hear you, but that's not what the OP says happened. The floor always has the right to disregard the rules in the case of an injustice, and probably should in the case you describe.

However ... the case described seems to be exactly what was contemplated by the rule. I'm not even saying it's a good rule, just a rule right on point.

In other words -- regardless of when you look at your cards, as soon as they're dealt, check to make sure you've received the right amount of em.
