I just posted this in the other thread too.

When I was there yesterday, Freddy Deeb complained that there was a mark on the Ace of Spades. The tournament staff took the card away for a few secs and then the dealer starting shuffling without it, not realizing he was short a card.

They sheepishly brought it back, supposedly having removed the offending mark. Deeb wasn't happy with this and asked for a new setup and emphasized he wanted a brand new deck.

Wow so they just tried to remove the mark on the ace of spades? How would they even do this? This comes off as incompetent to me, but possibly/probably I'm ignorant about these live poker situations.
