My guess is that this was a total fluke, and nothing more. The cards are shuffled by hand here, and shuffled well from what I have seen.

I HAVE seen a number of decks destroyed because of "marks" on the cards. Most seemed innocent enough, but one looked like a marked Ace to me. It had an obvious fingernail dent along it's top edge. Hmmmmm.... That was maybe 40 minutes into my first table on Day 1, btw.

i see this as bad luck more than anything else.

the only reason that anyone is making a big deal about it is that the player that was busted was a shulman and is part of the cardplayer family. if this happened to a regular online qualifier then there would be a bunch of jokes about live poker being rigged, but nothing more would come of it.
