A real-life B&M example of a holdout...

New dealer comes into the box and notices something under the chips of a guy playing out of a rack. She makes the guy move the rack and by golly there's a card. He claimed innocence and swore he had no idea how that card got there.

Surveillance ran the tapes and the claim was the guy made a very deliberate and obvious move maybe 10 minutes earlier. While everybody's eyes were focused elsewhere, he just moved his entire rack forward to cover that card and then pulled it back. Then mucked his lone remaining card. They were 100% convinced it was no accident.

The red-faced gentlemen was sent packing with a trespass order barring him from entering any Harrah's property anywhere ever again. He was also a hotel guest and was forced to leave the hotel as well.
