ODB Phat Mack didn't get a hand in WSOP-Style 2024 #41

[ctm]

Figure out why ODB was forced to sit out, even though he had been at the table the entire time.

In event 5186, look for ODB's comment "I didn't get a hand" and also pay attention to where the button was. I was looking elsewhere but I think the button might have jumped. It was, I believe, the first PLO hand of the game, making it a double board bomb pot using the alternate button.

I added the following fix to sit-out-1351, but I haven't actually tested it yet because it's so close to my bedtime. I'll test it and deploy it "soon" (probably tomorrow morning).

This is sufficient to reproduce the problem, where it occurs in master but is fixed in sit-out-1351:

I'll merge and deploy now.
