Last night, here is what happened within this shoe:

[attachimg=1]

On that first circled 'Fortune 7' (hand #6, the first Banker hand) the first two cards were; Players had two monkeys, Bankers had a 2 and a 4.  Dealer gives the 3rd Players card to the Player wagering the most and he flops a 6 and yells out, "Tie Hand".  He had the only Tie wager out there and he was wagering as well on the Players side. 

No one caught that the Bankers side still had to pull.  I have seen this many times, but usually when the Players side flops a 7 rather than the 6 for a total of 6, or even the one more mistakenly handled is the 7 on top of a 1 or a 2 showing for the Players side.  But anyway.....

On this particular hand, there was one person out of about 6 or so at the table wagering on the Fortune 7 and like I said, no one said anything.  Dealers pushes both sets of cards out front and motions for a Tie.  Pays the Tie and scoops up the cards and is dropping them and that is when someone said, "wait, you made a mistake you have to pull for the Banker".  Floor guy comes over and the dealer dropped the cards as that was being said.  Dealer turns to the floor and says, "I should have pulled, had a 3rd card of 6 for the Players and Banker had their first two cards with a total of 6".  Floor looks at everything and has one of those moments where whatever he does, not everyone is going to be happy.  Most people were on the Bankers side, a couple on the Players side. 

The Floor tells the dealer to pull the shoe in, he is calling surveillance to check the hand and then he will tell her what to do.  So after a few minuets he gets the call.  He says, "Surveillance told me that we have to finish the hand, put all the bets back, give the dealer back the Tie payout and we will place the cards back on the table".  The floor had the dealer empty the bucket on the table, there really was hardly any hands already played out, and she put the 5 cards back on the P and the B sides.  The floor said, "Is everyone in agreement, that this is what was on the table when the Players third card was drawn"?  Everyone agreed.  The dealer pulls one more card for the Banker and it was given to the person on the Banker side wagering the most.  He just motioned for the dealer to flip it and get on with the game.

The dealer flops an Ace for the Fortune 7 win.
