Discussion at Andy Bloch's table has turned to the shuffle process in use at the 2009 World Series of Poker. Before each hand, the dealer riffles twice, boxes, riffles one more time and cuts.

Bloch's contention is that the shuffle is too simple and that any dealer with a little bit of training would be able to put out the same individual card on the flop every time. Most players at the table felt that although it might not be practical for the WSOP to use shuffling machines at every table, the machines should definitely be in play once a WSOP tournament gets down to a manageable number of runners.
