Rule 68 - Exposing Cards

68.1

An 'exposed card' is defined as any card intentionally or accidentally shown to or seen by at least one player at the table.

68.2

It is a player’s responsibility to inform the dealer of any 'exposed cards' or flashed card(s).

68.3

Anytime an exposed card is not 100% identifiable, the dealer will show the player’s entire hand.

68.4

Dealers must 'show one player, show all players,' any 'exposed cards.'

  • If ALL ACTION IS COMPLETE, and a player exposes his/her card(s) to at least one player before 'folding/mucking,' all players are entitled to see the 'exposed card(s)', if requested. The dealer will kill the hand and show all players the EXACT card(s) shown.
  • 'Exposing cards' due to dealer’s error, dealers must announce and show the exposed card to all players. The exposed card must remain “face up” on the card deck, until the next action. The exposed card will be taken out of play.
68.5

A player intentionally exposing his/her card(s) to a player during a live hand will NOT have a 'dead hand,' but will incur a penalty. The penalty will begin at the end of the hand.

  • 'Exposing cards' to a player with NO LIVE HAND, anytime a player 'exposes cards' to a player, any player at the table may REQUEST to see the exposed card(s). At the end of the hand, the dealer will kill the hand and show the player’s show all players the EXACT card(s) shown.
  • 'Exposing cards' to a player WITH A LIVE HAND, anytime a player 'exposes cards' to a player who has NOT completed their action, the dealer will immediately show all players the EXACT card(s) shown. This is done so that all players involved are entitled to the same information. At the END of the hand, dealer will kill the hand and show all players the EXACT card(s) shown. The player that exposed his/her card(s) will incur a penalty.
68.6

A card accidentally exposed by a dealer or dealt off the table is ruled an 'exposed card' and may be the cause for a 'misdeal.' If more than 2 cards are exposed during the initial deal, the hand will be declared as a 'misdeal.'

68.7

In Flop games, if during the initial deal, the dealer accidentally 'exposed' a player’s card, that card will be taken out of play, shown to all players and used as the burn card. The player will then receive a new card from the top of the deck, once all players have received their initial hand. If 2 or more cards are 'exposed' during the initial deal, the hand will be declared a 'misdeal.'
