There was recently an issue over at table #160, where players such as Scott Clements and ElkY are currently sitting. Apparently the table has been through three deck changes, and some cards in the deck still bow a certain way. The ace of spades, for example, is bowed and bent upwards,while other cards in the deck default to a downward bowed position. This makes it so the ace of spades is easily identifiable when face down on the table.
The floor staff is currently swapping this deck out with a different black deck, but the players still seemed unhappy that they've been through so many decks and the issue was still present.
