What I really think happened in my case was that the shuffler was indeed forming an indentation on the backs of most or all the cards. The one player would then take advantage of the plausible deniability, and was then bending the aces and kings along the weak spot of the card so it would form a thicker crease.
You could see the aces and kings on the flop all had creases in the middle of the card, but no other card FRONT had evidence of a crease. Many backs were indented from the shuffler, but the aces and kings were not just indented but bent and creased in a distinguishable way.
But who knows, I may have just been extra paranoid that day. I did go about 8/10 for where I was dealt a creased card and guessed what rank it was. It was certainly a unique experience and didn't really effect the game in my opinion. Plus, my "suspect" ended up losing, not definitive could have a partner? .... yeah, it's just one of those things where you can't be certain, but get a really weird vibe. Eventually, I ended up moving tables.
