More Card Issues

Earlier this World Series, there was an issue with the official 2011 WSOP playing cards. There were small markings printed on the back of certain cards. It became a problem to the point that they had new cards printed and often used old decks that did not have the misprint before the new decks arrived.
Today we have had another problem with marked cards. Bryce Yockey, Dan Heimiller and company continued to pull out cards that were alleged to be indented with a nail or prick mark. After having already removed a number of cards, many if not all of which were Aces according to the players at the table, one such competitor yelled to Yockey as the cards were being dealt, "I bet that's an Ace". Yockey held onto the card until the end of the hand and showed it to the table. Sure enough it was the Ace of hearts.
Recently, another marked Ace was plucked from Nick Binger and Allen Kessler's table. Binger, who was at the original table, appears to be unhappy with what's going on. During the break, Kessler was interviewed by Sarah Grant and mentioned that he had a similar problem yesterday but with random cards, not just Aces.
We will continue to monitor if cards are pulled out from tables and which specific cards are replaced.
