ruling please
This is a pretty messed-up problem. Although "significant action" has occurred, requiring the game to continue and forcing the player with 3 cards to play (or even forced to muck) falls outside the scope of rules. In other words, if the person who 3 cards plays, he is advantaged while if he is required to fold, he is disadvantaged.My opinion is that a redeal is required. However, I believe the correct course of action is to immediately notify the supervising Pokerdome tournament director(s) who has extensive experience mediating these type of ruling conflicts. They are there to help.
