Of course, poker dealers are people and they can make mistakes. Some of the common blunders they can make include:

- Misdealing cards
- Miscalculating pots
- Malhandling af all-ins
- Forgetting to shuffle
- Misinterpreting rules

If you suspect a mistake:

- Stay calm
- Politely alert the dealer
- If necessary inform the floor manager

They always aim at being as accurate as possible. In case you find an error, make the correction as early as possible.
 
Dealers are human and make mistakes too. I've not been at a poker table when this happened, but rather at a blackjack table with a new dealer.

I forgot how they handled it though. I'm pretty sure they shuffled all new decks and started dealing again as it took a while to start the game back up.
 
Dealers have flipped whole cards, when that happens I believe the deck is reshuffled, and hand is redealt at casinos.
