Misdealt for Three Hands

The cards provided by Kem for the World Series of Poker have very distinguishable backings which set them aside from any other event. They have a mostly solid white backing, with a thick red or black trim that lines the back of the card. Dealers alternate decks, using the 'red' deck and the 'black' deck evenly.

Players at Orange #9 were in for a bit of a surprise when a red-backed card appeared during one of their hands while using the black deck. Oddly enough, several hands have been dealt to these players using this 53-card deck.

The card was removed, replaced in its correct deck, and play has now begun at that table using the correct number of cards.
