Some will gently grab and hold the muzzle of a very young pup for a short while after every hard bite. Or you can gently push your hand back into the mouth as the puppy is biting the hand and take away his control after every hard bite. Others immediately stop playing with the dog and leave the room, no exceptions. Eventually you can add the words "No" or "No bite" as you deter the dog and before long, just the words are all that are necessary.
