Robert Thompson is a poker official from Las Vegas. He served[when?] as the tournament director on Celebrity Poker Showdown.[1] Phil Gordon said on one broadcast[episode needed] that Thompson is one of the best tournament directors in Las Vegas.[citation needed][when?] His distinctive way of saying[peacock prose] the tournament opener "shuffle up and deal" has become something of a catchphrase[weasel words] for fans of the show.
Thompson was the tournament director for Hollywood Park Casino in Los Angeles, California from 1997 to 2004.[citation needed] He is the son of Bob Thompson, a former tournament director of the World Series of Poker.[2][bare URL]
