We just heard the dealer at Table 372 ask a favor from his players. "Just be really careful when you throw the cards into the muck. They're the sharpest cards I've ever seen, and they really will cut you. I'm not even kidding, be careful." He looked at the tips of his fingers and rubbed the sore spots.
We knew we'd spotted Men the Master Nguyen in that area a few minutes ago, and we naturally scanned the table in question to see if he was there. He wasn't; he was at the adjacent table. Rats.
It sounds like it's nothing malicious over there, just a dealer trying to protect the tools of his trade.

From the cutoff, Allen Bari raised to 2,400 and Karl Pirkopf moved all in for 14,700 from the small blind. Bari thought for a bit before making a smirky-grimace face indicated he didn't have much of a hand and made the call.

hit the river. Despite pairing his king, Kurganov was second best to Stein's trips, and Stein took the double up to boost his stack up to 71,000.
