Thomas,
I have already said that I would have made the same call as Dennis Jones. However, after going back and forth on this thread I realize that it might not have been the best choice. This does not reflect on the credibility of Dennis, on the contrary, his action was swift and very professional and I (for one), would not want to trade places with him in that bizarre situation. I'd like to know what call he would make if it ever happened again. :-\Hmm...
I'm sure your dealer feels bad about the mistake, but let's face it, the fault lies with the player.
I wonder how many times that dealer saved a player from making a bad play?
