in 7 card stud they allow 8 people to a table, hypothetically if everybody stayed in the hand that is 56 cards, yet only 52 in the deck, can someone please tell me if they know what happens in this situation??

the river is dealt as a community card, one faceup card that everyone shares.

Ding.

This is correct.

Thanks for the replies guys

Yay! Another satisfied customer.

You're welcome.

In a live game where burn cards are used when it is 3 handed or less on 7th st. the burns can be shuffled into the stub (if the stub has 2 cards in it) and then dealt.

ie: 3 players complete the action on 6th st. The dealer is holding a deck with 2 cards left in it. He picks up the 3 burn cards shuffles them in with the other 2 and deal everyone a down card.

The reason I say a stub with 2 cards is you never deal the last card of the deck.

If you can't do this, then community cards are used.
