How does this happen?

A few things could have caused that to happen, one being the ball was pocketed so hard that it jumped across the center deflectors designed to guide the balls down the ball return all the way across to the opposite side pocket track and up it backwards. Two being, the center deflectors may have been removed, who knows without looking at the table in person.
If the ball comes out of the pocket it went in then I think it should stay up, when the ball goes in the pocket and comes out of another pocket I think it should go down. If the ball stays up that means that the game is based on the function of the table, if it had drop pockets this cannot happen.

I think it stays up; lose turn. What if the 2 happened to kick in the cue? The two is a live ball. We've all played games where the tables function [or lack there of] get's in the way of our expectations... You gotta take it on the chin.

It definitely stays up but that does not mean I agree with it. If a ball comes out of the same pocket it fell in I can appreciate the ball stays up. But when a ball comes out of a different hole than it went in is kinda like saying if the light falls on the table and knocks the cue ball in during your turn its your foul and you gotta go take a seat, BIH to opponent.
I was gambling playing $20 a game 9 ball out in Billings, MT way back in the 80's, on a Montana Billiards built 8ft coin op at the Corner Pocket pool room. All I had left to pocket was the 9 in the side, well being a bit of a showoff back then, I pocketed the 9 so hard intending the draw the cue ball 3 rails around the table just to show off some stroke, when all of a sudden the 9 ball came back up on the table from the opposite side pocket, rolled straight across the table, and fell in the side pocket I made it the first time. The guy I was playing just looked at me dumbfounded. ..like, what the hell just happened. I started laughing and told him he owed my $40 for that rack because I just beat him twice....LOL...of course he didn't pay up...LMAO
Sal Butera had received a table without center deflectors not in place. I forget if it was spitting out balls like this table, but it was doing something similar. Anyways, funny video.
He shoulda gave you at least $80, thats really showing off when you pocket the game ball twice in the same game in the same pocket on a single shot!!!!
