Poker Question

[lleeder]

This past weekend I was in a game where something different happened and I was wondering what other poker players thought. Two guys were left in a hand where there was no flop yet. A bet of 26 dollars all in was made then called. The guy that called showed his hand and there was a pair of 9's with a jack that he hadn't seen stuck to it. He had three cards. The other guy that made the bet had Ace King. It was ruled a dead hand and the guy with Ace King won. Some people at the table myself included thought the guy who won should have given the other guy the 26 dollars that was called back. He didn't. Do you think he was in the right to keep the money?

total miss deal $$ should have been given back to the said players
