Tensions Rising
Robert Mizrachi doesn't seem to have many fans at his table. At the start of a stud hand, he stopped the dealer and told her that the way she was holding the deck, he could see the bottom card. The rest of the table didn't believe him and told her to keep dealing. The floor was called over, and Mizrachi told them he'd seen an ace while everyone else said he was just trying to stall.
"I think he's just full of it," Nick Schulman said. "I'm the f*#^king bring in, and I'm fighting this."
In the end, the floor decided they had to kill the hand and start over, and asked the dealer to handle the deck more carefully. Still, they suggested Mizrachi "stop costing us time." The grumbling continued well into the next hand. "I see a nine of diamonds in the middle of the deck," Schulman said. "Better redeal."
