The other guy who put his stacks in the middle of the table - exactly how is he supossed to do this? Should he announce the mount? Should he let everyone know there's a big chip in one stack, what?

He did nothing wrong.

YES! EXACTLY that. Either announce the amount of the bet, or separate out the black so it's clear it's there. duh. When you put the chips in nice neat stacks of 4 or 5, there is an implication that they are all the same color. If you've played poker for 10 years you know to be careful. If you're 22yo and are visiting Vegas for the first time and are playing in the smallest NL game you can find, you shouldn't be subjected to this kinda crap.

Guess we're just going to have to disagree on this one. I think the guy is a cheating bastard and I'm not gonna be unconvinced of it. I saw it happen. I'm positive it was intentional. I don't think he should get to profit by hiding the size of his bet.
