Hi all , 3 players involved in a hand , flop 7 K of heart & 9 diamond , player "A" went all in & been called by player B & C .
2 of spades on the turn ,player B bets 80$ & before player C act, the dealer prematurely opened the 3 of heart as a river card.
This is when player C object telling that he didn't act yet .

The floor supervisor was called & ask the dealer to put back the river card into the stub & reshuffle the stub so player C could act on the turn, ( player C called the 80 $ bet ). The new river card is now 10 of spades , player B bets 200 $ ,player C called the bet .
Player B won the hand with a trips of 10's ( player C had 1 K ).
Player A who was all in on the flop ,refuse the supervisor decision & turn his card face up showing 2 cards of hearts .( hitting  the flush with the 3 of heart on the river)
Any other solutions for this incident .hope I made this situation clear ..... Ty .

It's unfortunate for the all-in but, he has to live with it. The mistake could have made him the winner in the same situation. Some dealer error's can be corrected and there is little impact on a hand. This premature deal probably eliminated the all-in from the tournament. Too bad for the player and not too good for the dealer either.

I agree with Nick. I've had to deal with this several times before and the result always has to be the same. A reshuffle is necessary for the conclusion of the hand. In one circumstance I had the player who won the pot refund the all-in players bet and I allowed it. He had made what seemed like a checking motion which caused the delaer to open the river prematurely. He felt guilty and offered the refund. I guess sometimes poker is still a gentlemans sport...

Would the decision change in the situation that  , player A is all in on the flop called by players B & C , then the dealer tab on the table & open the turn then tab again & open the river( thinking that all the players r all in ) . Player A open his cards with a flush this is when player B objected telling the dealer that he wanted to bet on the turn .... Ty

Alex,
Why didn't the player say something when he was skipped on the turn? With the information given, I would say it's too late and the cards remain.

Alex,

your description does not change the action to the river, the turn stands, and the river is re-shuffled back in, even if both players check the turn, as prescribed in RROP dealing errors.  If it was all-in pre-flop and the dealer puts the whole board out, that's where it gets ugly  ;)
