cut the deck
Divide the pile
To cut the deck is to divide a deck of playing cards by lifting a portion from the top and placing it beside or beneath the remainder.
This is typically done after shuffling and before dealing, often by a player other than the dealer, to prevent cheating or ensure randomness: Cut the deck and we'll start the game.
