(1) If the point count of the first 2 cards dealt to a player or the
first 2 cards of a hand made by splitting cards totals 9, 10 or

wagered on the original hand before it was split.
(3) When a player splits cards, the dealer must deal a second
card to the first of the hands formed and must complete the
player’s decisions about the hand before proceeding to deal
