ruling please
There has definately been substantial action on this hand (two or more voluntary actions).The player has the incorrect number of cards and therefore their hand is dead, and the game continues. Although it is a dealer error, the onus is on the player to ensure they have the correct number of cards.Any players who have folded thinking it is a misdeal cannot retrieve their cards, regardless of whether they have shown their hand (and could be subject to a penalty for doing so with action pending). The only reason I can see for retrieving the tabled cards from the muck is if the player is all in for less than the amount required to call, but that is an anomally and would have to be treated on its merits.
