Commotion on Feature Table 2
Over on Feature Table 2, play was paused for a moment due to a marked card in the deck.
Randy Pisane was in the small blind, and after he received his two cards, he informed the dealer that one of his cards was slightly bent in the corner. He looked at it, and he said he strongly felt as though someone marked it on purpose.
The floor was called over, and the dealer explained the situation, but the players wanted Tournament Director Jack Effel to make a ruling.
Effel came over, and after listening to the situation, ruled that the hand was dead and would be dealt over with a new deck. "The good news is that there has been no action," said a smiling Effel.

The players tossed their cards into the middle, and the dealer whipped the second deck out of the shuffler.
