A card dealt must be the top card of the deck. After the first card of the hand has been dealt to a player, the deal continues in a clockwise direction. The order of cards in the deck may not be disturbed during the deal of a round.
A card that is meant to be dealt face downward but is dealt face upward or flashed as it is dealt so that a player might know its identity or is dealt off the table is considered an exposed card. A card exposed by a player is not an exposed card. An exposed card meant to be dealt face downward must be replaced except in the game of stud poker in which the correction may be made by dealing the next card down. The replacement of an exposed card must be done after all players have received their cards in that round. The dealer must determine whether a card has been exposed.
