Jackpots and dealer tipping etiquette question

[fishyak]

Hand 1: Almost the easiest jackpot board you will ever see...

Suits irrelevant... flop is A4A. The jackpot door is open. Turn 4. Possible, but not very likely. River A!

Dealer SHOUTS: "Everyone SHUT UP." Then more quietly, I don't want anyone blowing the jackpot. We are down to 2 players. I state: "Just state your action, nothing more." Players: "Check." "Check" Player 1 AJ. Player 2 pocket 7's. Touchdown! Dealer's conduct could have been seen as abrasive, but he was only trying to protect a potential jackpot.

I had never really thought about it, but I guess the perfect jackpot board would be AAA22 for Commerce.

The second hand was more of a surprise. Flop was junk, but had a 5 in it. Turn added a 2nd 5 and now had 3 clubs. River put the first A on the board and the betting erupts between a young asian guy and a middle aged lady who later admitted she had lost 50k (OMG!) gambling last year.

The kid and the witch went back and forth 10 times, HU, no limit. I honestly thought is was the nut flush vs. full house with 2 stubborn people. Woman turns over pocket's 5's and kid turns over pocket AA that he had not raised PF. I am the first person to recognize this as a jackpot. No way for others to blow it.

For some karma, it turns out the kid was robbed at gunpoint the day before hitting the jackpot. While he had not been at the table that long, under those circumstances, it sounds like he was due some good karma.
