When a 8D shoe reaches 50% cut-card depth (208 of 416 cards undealt, state DEP409) with 18 Five-Pip Card cards removed and 14 remaining, Player wins 44.6269% (1.2307% edge) while Banker wins 45.8576% (1.4623% edge under Super 6).
Fewer 5s in the (DEP409-Rank-5) stub reduce Banker third-card improvements (208c) from 3 to 8 and (DEP409-Rank-5·208c) from 4 to 9. Because 18 of 32 Five-Pip Card cards are absent in DEP409 at 50% 8D penetration (208 cards left), per-card sensitivity (-0.84 bps) interacts directly with mid-shoe 50% penetration depth (DEP409) under Super 6 no-commission rules (Rank-5) (winning Banker 6 pays 0.50:1) (DEP409·Rank-5).
