Stop asking all-in players to act

A player who is all-in is still in the hand and still wins pots, but has nothing left to decide. The engine didn't know that: it picked the next player to act by walking to whoever was still in the hand, chips or no chips. So a dealer with three players all-in pre-flop was asked to check for each of them on the flop, the turn and the river — nine taps to say nothing — and the action could land mid-street on someone who'd already pushed their last chip in. Now the action passes over players who are all-in, and once fewer than two people have chips left the betting is simply over: the bar runs Deal Flop, Turn, River, Showdown straight through, and says "All-in — running out the board" so the absence of a question reads as deliberate rather than as a stuck screen.
