If they didnt withold the 2% I would have received appx. $1,400 more than that. I tipped $1,400, the person that went out first tipped nothing.

I think this is the attitude that requires them to take the tip deduction off the top instead of relying on the "winners" making voluntary tips. Only 10% of the people are in the money, so if each person in the money thinks his tip only covers himself, the dealers are going to be screwed. The tips come from the non-winners just as much as from the winners.

The amount they took out was very high though. Can someone extimate the total work hours put in by the dealers in this tournament, so we can calculate an hourly rate for this very generous tip?
