The house shall set the maximum number of players for each type of poker game. When the dealer realizes that there are not enough cards to complete the game and a player or players have received down cards, all remaining live cards and burn cards, excluding the muck, must be reshuffled to form a new deck which must be used to deal to the remaining player or players. If the dealer runs out of cards in the games of seven-card low stud poker, seven-card high stud poker, and seven-card high-low split stud poker, the dealer must burn a card and then deal a seventh card face up as a community card.

The muck is the discard pile.
