I’m the tournament director for a casual bi-weekly tournament with 15-20 players.  Usually we can handle most situations but in this case I was not present at the tournament and not sure how this should have been handled.
In our tournament we have two decks on the table.  One in play and one being shuffled by the big blind for the next hand to expedite time between hands.  We don’t have a dedicated dealer, so the player before the small blind deals and this rotates around the table each hand.
We ended up with three players in the hand.  The dealer, SB and BB. 
Preflop...
Action folds around.  Dealer raises 3 big blinds.
SB shoves all in.  BB is considering his options when the dealer realized while he was holding the deck he was dealing from, he had been shuffling it.
The three players discuss the situation and decide to play it out with the dealer calling and BB who folding.
SB had KK... dealer had A-9 off.
The player in the dealer position won when he spiked an ace on the river.

My question though, should the hand have been called dead once it was discovered the deck had been shuffled??

It sounds like it should have been played out but I want to be sure in case it happens again.

Thanks
