Matt--

If it's a myth, it's a mildly interesting evolutionary case. Back in the day it was always a stud jackpot.

Edit - nm didn't read the whole OP. If true absurdly awesome.

2nd Edit - oh, IM'ed a couple buddies who are Commerce regulars apparently a well known urban legend except, as noted above, guy doesn't pay out table share. Too bad.

Matt,

It's still a good story!

But this exact tale has definitely been posted on 2+2 before.

heard this exact thing, but it used to be an old lady and some punk kid.

good story.

edit: also, if he's rich, neither the pot nor the bonus are going to be meaningful to him!

Yes that's Alex, also the subject of Perpetual Commotion and Poker Parallels Parking, two of Tommy's best articles (www.tiltless.com).

It's an urban legend that was in Bluff Magazine before.

But, if the old man shows his cards before mucking, why don't his cards speak?

Definitely an old lady, definitely posted on 2p2. Although I don't think she whipped out any money for the rest of the table in that version.
