It didn't "continuously shuffle the cards". There was just no preset deck order. Any time a card was needed (cards dealt to players, flop, turn, river) a random card was chosen by the RNG from the remaining cards not yet used in the hand.
With most other sites (including Poker Stars), the RNG orders the cards from 1 to 52 before the hand is dealt, and then it stays unchanged in order throughout the hand.
If you ask me, Full Tilt's way is much safer, because that info about the deck order has to be stored somewhere, and if it's stored, it can be read by someone.
