I played in a texas holdem tournement last night and the dealer accidently showed the turn as they deal the river. We werent sure how to proceed, but in the end we just left the turn card out and played on. Turned out that the turn gave the guy a set of 8's and busted my two pair I had on the flop - obviously this hand could have turned out alot differently if played correct. What was the right thing to do in this situation?

I would assume that it would be considered a bum deal and the game would have to be restarted . however you all agreed to continue so you new the risks and gambled , you lost fair and square .

First of all there is no way the turn could be accidentally show as the river is dealt, because the river is the last card; the turn is already showing. If it was the other way around and the river was shown accidentally when the turn was dealt, the dealer must be very inept. In Texas Hold-um the top card is always burned (discarded). So before the flop the top card is discarded and 3 cards are flopped. The next round the top card is discarded and the turn is shown. The next round the top card is discarded and the river is shown. So even if the next card is shown as the turn is dealt, it doesn't matter because it will be discarded.

It is not a misdeal...
In the event of an exposed card during the deal, the card is shown to everyone, and becomes a burn card. The burn card it is replacing goes to whomever's card was exposed.
In the event that an exposed card comes during the revealing of the dealt cards (aka 4 cards are turned over for the flop or it is quickly discovered that no card was burned before dealing the next card), the "extra" card is shown to everyone, and then mixed in with the rest of the deck (do NOT include the mucked cards, but do include previous burn cards) and shuffled.
In the event that more than one card has been exposed at any time during a deal, it is considered a misdeal. Every concerted effort should be made to avoid a misdeal, especially when chips have been pulled into a pot, making it very difficult to return bets to the players.

The correct procedure is to replace the exposed card with another from near the bottom of the deck. Third from bottom is common. Certainly they should NOT have left the card exposed, as it gives too much information to the players before they bet.

If that happens in the future call a misdeal and the hand will be reshuffled and dealt. You may have to make your case to the card room manager but in the case you described above it shouldn't be a problem.

The extra card that was exposed should have been placed back in the deck and the deck shuffled then dealt out as normal.

the river is the last card, so how could he accidentally show the turn?
