That is the key piece of information here, because had the card on the floor been identified preflop before anything meaningful happened, the hand would be ruled dead and action would pause while the dealer counted, sorted, and established the deck. Keep in mind that different rooms have different rules, and even different floor managers may rule differently within the same room. But understanding the basics behind this rule, and how to consider the spot from an anti-angle shooting perspective, will help you make your own ruling in your home game.
