Dealers are to control the progress of the game. Their role is to state the action and smooth the progress of a fair game; as to the technical rules. Dealers should act in a fair manner and must remain neutral to all players.
Dealers must clearly announce the action at hand in the tournament’s “official language.” Dealers will be responsible to announce and show “exposed cards.” Dealers should only count a player’s bet amount if requested by a player with a live hand. Dealers will only inform a player of the pot size in pot limit games.
Dealers are responsible for reporting any violation made by a player or any discrepancy that occurs. If a discrepancy arises, players are responsible to call the dealer’s attention to the situation. Dealers must immediately stop all action and call for a “Floor Person” or the “Tournament Director.”
