Slide Dealing Makes Debut at Venetian Poker Fall Championship
The World Poker Tour (WPT) event at the Venetian Poker Fall Championship is making history by implementing slide dealing for the first time in a US tournament. This innovative method is designed to combat card exposure and cheating, enhancing the integrity of live tournament poker.
Slide dealing, a technique where cards are dealt face down using a sliding motion, reduces the risk of cards being exposed or manipulated. This method has been used in other parts of the world but is new to US tournaments.
The Venetian Poker Fall Championship is known for its high-stakes games and competitive atmosphere. By adopting slide dealing, the event aims to set a new standard for fairness and security in live poker tournaments.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes.
