Re: Why doenst the WSOP use Auto Shufflers
There was a guy over in 'home poker' who was developing a small (drink coster size footprint) mech-shuffler that would retail $100-200 mark.
Itd be the go between of the hugely expensive items that are patented to death, and the crappy $10 shufflers that dont work properly.
Who knows, come WSOP 2006, it may be a guy from 2+2 to the rescue.

Not quite linked, but go google the speed tourney in estonia that ran a few months ago. It had players limited to like 10 seconds a move, but more key it had multiple dealers - apparently it was getting in hands/hr ranges that beat full table online games.
It was by all accounts an amazing game and had a great set up.

Does WSOP/WPT etc use multiple preshuffled decks in the end game? If not, i question why not? Hell we even use two dealers at the end of our university tourneys and we start hands as soon as one ends - it makes the game a lot slower in effect with a higher hands/hr.
