The 2025 WSOP Dealer Daze is here. I plan to run daily updates like before and will pin this master thread. Favorite and follow as needed. Lots of changes this year, so we're just going to paddle in and ride the wave. I'm on the schedule starting Wednesday. Good luck everyone.

@jeffplatt Hand to to the player in the opened box.

[Lance Bradley @Lance_Bradley]

Here is the Poker TDA rule on four-card flops:

"If the flop has four rather than three cards, exposed or not, and regardless of whether the door card is presumed known, the floor will be called. The dealer then scrambles the four cards face down, the floor randomly selects one as the next burn card and the other three are the flop."

And if you're calling for the dealer to be fired or punished, do better. Mistakes happen.

@StartAIready @Timcast @WPT Nothing.

@Sal_VGK_42 @WSOP If they concealed it everyone would be complaining about that and accuse them of trying to cover it up.

[LV Cabbie Chronicles @LVCabChronicles]

@facuamm @PokerNews @WSOP Because it's not a "stream" it's a show. Gap is ~2.5hrs fwiw

[LV Cabbie Chronicles @LVCabChronicles]

I do the same thing, pound them out one by one on the table and pick up all 3 up and expose them. I believe a player said during that last bit she somehow inherited one from the muck. That seems more plausible than 2 cards stuck together. I wonder what @ashleyfrances thinks...

[Eddie @TheEdman]

@LVCabChronicles On the 4 card, how do you think the K4 got stuck?
Dealer did a pretty solid job of thumping out each of the individual cards for the flop. You could hear it like it was mic'd! lol
Probably some residual hotdog sauce🤣
(Which is why they should immediately remove decks)

@BigHuni @galenhall Elephant brain move.

[LV Cabbie Chronicles @LVCabChronicles]

95% of the criticism directed at WSOP dealers is justified. I've been echoing such things for years. I'm not just taking the dealers part bc I am one, it's bc this scenario falls into that 5%. It sucks for the player no doubt. I have respect for him for handling it with class.

@LVCabChronicles Agree no dealer or player is perfect we are all just doing our best. One mistake is not enough reason to throw anyone under the bus. She probably feels really bad I hope she gets support from the organisation

[LV Cabbie Chronicles @LVCabChronicles]

The new ones this year are significantly better, as I reported. But they're still slightly different. Not that that os the reason the 4 card flop happened necessarily but it may have been. Also and again, no dealers are perfect and it's unfair to throw that gal under the bus imo.

@LVCabChronicles @ManOfTheLibrary @WSOP Fortunately haven’t used RFID cards much they are a pain to shuffle and deal. I wondered if this could be part of it. Dealers can only try to be as good as they can mistakes will always happen . How they are dealt with is what matters that’s why there is TDA to standardise

[💞Ashley💞 @ashleyfrances]

@LVCabChronicles @ManOfTheLibrary @WSOP Theyre bowed now too not being fresh decks. Makes it very easy to flutter/flash a card if you don’t put enough spin on it.

[LV Cabbie Chronicles @LVCabChronicles]

@ManOfTheLibrary @WSOP It's weird how people think that great dealers never make mistakes. It's easy to be great once, what's hard is being good every single time. Also what no one wants to take into account is the RFID cards are slightly different, this is why the auto shufflers were failing.

@MatthewBAX @Cernovich Mass chaos

[LV Cabbie Chronicles @LVCabChronicles]

.Harlon Karnofsky? He had one hell of a run. No shame in 2nd. After Zhang knocked Rees he had a huge stack. I think the last count was like 36m vs 8m @ 200k/400k/400k

@TheRealB_Noon @BlaiseBourgeois Settle down

[LV Cabbie Chronicles @LVCabChronicles]

.In other news having PA's is kind of weird. I don't feel comfortable asking other people to go fetch me stuff or do menial tasks but they do come in clutch sometimes. And I suppose it's good for younger people to get their foot in the door.

[LV Cabbie Chronicles @LVCabChronicles]

.Because my table wrapped early I get to leave early. A lot of talk today about the hand in the GG Million$ where 4 cards came out on the flop, and many are using this as another example of bad dealers at WSOP, but that's bullshit.

Hand in question:

@Povdan Let's see you do it with the lights on Dan.

@LaffyTaffy0112 @PokerNews WSOP dealers make $42.50/hr for NLH and $52.50/hr for mixed games when they're dealing. You could make more dealing cash but you could also make way less. Plus cash games are more work. And I can't envision any tournament that would require 5k dealers. WSOP only 700 tables.
