Dealer tip from J. Hachem? A single $100 bill. What a schmuck.

if that's true - that's awful.

Any proof?

RacersEdge · #4 07-17-2005, 03:45 PM

Is that just for the dealers at the final table - or just the final hand - or what?

I believe that the winner (and everybody else at the final table, IIRC) tips the entire ME staff a percentage of their prize, meaning that the staff was probably very well compensated for their hard work during the ME. Although I'm sure the OP considered that before calling him a 'chump'.

the winner tipped the staff 100 bucks you figure the percentage

popesc · #9 07-17-2005, 03:52 PM

What amount would you tip?

Sorry, that doesn't sound plausible at all. You expect me to believe that his prize-pool percentage tip to the entire staff was $100 out of a $7,500,000 prize? If he was going to tip so little, why not just tip nothing? It seems much more likely that he gave the dealer a $100 bill and then his percentage tip was something else (perhaps someone can confirm whether or not Binion's staff is allowed to know how much an individual entrant tipped from their pool).

Nobody would tip $100 out of a $7.5 million prize instead of $0 unless they were actively trying to insult.
