More Leyser-Gold drama

The rumor I've heard is that Alan was the only one at the final table who tipped. I don't really know.

[Piemaster]

Well they all tipped the dealers extremely generously in theory, given the large chunk of the prize pool that was withheld for them.

[NoSoup4U]

I refuse to get sucked into another tipping debate, but I agree with you in general that everyone paid plenty of juice already.

Didn't harrah's only give a fraction of the fraction of the prizepool that was withheld for the dealers?

Harrah's withheld a certain amount "for the staff", which basicaly means they can do whatever they want with it. Usually when money is withheld it is specificaly earmarked for the dealers or floor staff, etc. The fact that Harrah's made a point to change this is pretty revealing.

I didn't deal the WSOP and don't know how much they made, but I would bet they didn't get much of the withheld money.

Well, sorta. It is Harrah's fault, but when even more dealers walk out and every competant dealer refuses to work for Harrahs it will be everyone's problem.

The dealers on this site need to quit trying to guilt us into tipping. It is a very easy job that requires no education and minimal training and deserves no more than $12/hour yet they want $30+/hour.
