Crazy hand at the Wynn and a total D-bag move by a d-bag.

Two things that needed to happen; the dealer needed to make the side pots before he dealt the river card; and he needed to make D-bag put his $1K chips where they were visible, b/c I wasn't the only one who didn't know he was playing $5K behind.

Wrong, and wrong.

1. It would be a big waste of time to set up all the side pots before the showdown. Why not wait to see if the biggest stack has the winner? If he does, we can just push all the chips to him.

2. You didn't see the big chips behind his stack. Why do you expect that the dealer could? Do dealers have x-ray vision? If you fail to notice the guy putting bigger chips on the table, then you can't mad at the dealer for also failing to notice. Also, it's possible that these bigger chips were added to the stack before this current dealer arrived to this game.

You trying to pin any of this on the dealer is slightly d-baggy.
