Ivey made sure to request a card deck shuffler to ensure the cards weren't rotated during shuffles. He also requested a dealer that spoke Mandarin (under the story of being superstituous) so he could ask the dealer to perform certain card-turning actions and, most likely, do it under the radar of pit bosses that might have been listening in. |

They didn't ask for a dealer that spoke Mandarin for superstitious reasons, they asked because the person actually doing the edge-sorting was Phil Ivey's partner in this, Cheng Yin Sun. Their request to turn cards was under the guise of being superstitious, not their request for a Mandarin speaking dealer.
