Royal Flush
Six players left in a tournament, 4 paid. Blinds are excessive. 4 players have less than average stack -- not a chip and a chair, but shortish -- while two players are healthy and above average stack.
Hand 1: Player X is the BB and busts. We are now on the money bubble. I know it should have been a dead small blind the next hand, but that didn't happen, and no one noticed. Here's what did happen:
Hand 2: Player A - dealer
(Player X)
Player B - posts SB
Player C - posts BB
Player D - folds
Player E - raises, folds around. Player E takes down the blinds.
Hand 3: the button moves to the dead spot, but Player C picks up a deck to deal. Player E halts action and says it's a dead button, Player A should deal again. Hands are reconstructed, and it's determined that in Hand 2, Player C (mistakenly) posted the BB and told Player B to post the small, which he did. It is agreed that the action in Hand 2 can't be un-done, but Player E (who is one of the two above average stacks) argues that the dead button should deal because that is where action should have been but also because he wants Player B and Player C (both below average stack) to pay the oppressive blinds. Player B says he just posted the SB and doesn't want to post it again. Player A, C and D do not voice an opinion.
Floor is called.
Does Hand 2 action stand?
Where is the deal and who are the blinds for Hand 3?
