Casino Employee makes Mistake – Client Suffers

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

I witnessed a strange and painful thing earlier this week at a local Casino in Belgium — and I feel like sharing:

On the Texas Hold’em 2/4 No Limit game a €800 pot was split by two people making the nut straight, beating a third guy all-in with two pair. There was a sidepot created during the hand.

Once the river is dealt, the dealer starts splitting the WHOLE pot. Patron disagrees and tells the dealer the sidepot is his… Dealer agrees and gives him a sidepot –  and shoves the rest of the pot to the other guy with the straight…

Obviously everyone noticed and told the dealer he was wrong. Funny detail: the other guy refused to give the money back. :D He said: “The dealer’s mistake — not mine”.

Result: guy didn’t get his share. Table stood up and refused to play. Game ended.

So sick.
