Hello all, I recently played in a tournament here in Houston where the turn card was flipped over before the betting round ended. So the pot was not right. No one knew the proper procedure, so one person not in the hand took it upon himself to take the turn card and shuffle back into deck. I have never heard of this and want to verify that if this happened in a Casino what the proper procedure would be. Please let me know. Thanks.

Commenced means "started" and I don't think that's what you meant. Some one had bet and there were still people left to act postflop?
The way I've seen it done in the past is the exposed card is dead. It ends up in the muck, and it is not reshuffled into the deck. What I'm not sure about is if you need to burn yet another card before dealing the next community card.

From Robert's Rules:
"If the dealer turns the fourth card on the board before the betting round is ocmplete, the card is taken out of play for that round, even if subsequent players elect to fold. The betting is the completed. The dealer burns and turns what would have been the fifth card in the fourth card's place. After this round of betting, the dealer reshuffles the deck, including the card that was taken out of play, but not including the burn cards of discards. The dealer then cuts the deck and turns the final card without burning a card."
This allows the preexposed card to have the same odds of turning up again.

Yep...I just lived through that. That's what they do...that way, you still get 4 of the 5 cards that should have been there

thanks guys...that sounds way more correct than what the guy at our table did, he reshuffled the whole deck w/o flop cards
