Square the table?

[tipperdog]

From today's Cardplayer coverage of the WSOP NL Shootout:

[ QUOTE ]

Shortly after arriving at the table, Negreanu asked his unknown opponent, nicely, to square the table. The unknown decided to take a combative stance, and immediately went to work needling Negreanu.

What is "squaring the table?"

[Ragnar]

People have a tendency to spread out at the table. Squaring the table means for everyone to sit it their proper position so that everyone has room.

very common complaint at 10 person table. I believe the 5 and 6 seats are supposed to be squared (dealer betweeen 5 and 6) across from the dealer in a 10 person table.
