Dealer Reads Cards Wrong--Joe Awada Wins--No He Doesn't

Joe Awada raised 600 and two players called. The flop came {5-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and everyone checked. Players checked the {A-Clubs}{7-Spades}. Seat 3 showed {A-Spades}{9-Spades}, Awada showed {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}. At that point the dealer pushed the pot to Awada for a pair of aces. Seat 3 objected, pointing out his two pair. The floor was called and cards retrieved. Sure enough, the dealer had misread the nine as a six. The chips were awarded to Seat 3 and left Awada crippled.
