7 car stud question.......

[gbiphase2]

can someone please tell me how many decks are used in 7 card stud???? it seems that a 2nd deck would be needed if all the players at a full table stick around until the 7th card is dealt...or am I missing something here??? please fill me in.....thank you.........

gbi....if all the players stay in the hand to the end then the last cards to be dealt are shared community cards instead of being dealt to each player.
