Dealer sticking it to the player?

[Iron_Yuppie]

An cute little incident at the Borgata $300 tournament a few weeks back:

We are a few levels in, and it is time for a deck change. The dealer takes out the new deck, and as he does, the player in seat 2 asks the dealer if he knows how many people are in the tournament. The dealer puts down the deck, looks around the room, and begins to say "looks like about 300 or so..." when a Big Surly guy (BSG) in seat 6, apparently upset with the 10 second delay that this exchange took, jumps in and says to the dealer "Stop talking and start shuffling".

The dealer plays it off like he's not offended, but I could tell he was a little pissed. Anyway, the next hand that the Big Surly Guy is in (about 4 hands later), BSG is in the CO and raises. The small blind calls, and there are two to the flop, which comes KT4r. SB checks, BSG makes a continuation bet, SB calls. Turn and river go check-check, and the small blind shows a weak king.

BSG mucks by throwing his cards face down to the center of the table. As the dealer goes to sweep up his cards, he "accidentally" flips BOTH of them over, exposing BSG's pocket 9's. Dealer says a quick "sorry", and BSG does not say anything (it was a pretty smooth motion).

I think there was no way this was a coincidence, but I was surprised that BSG or anyone else at the table didn't say anything about it.

Anyone think the dealer was OK with his little revenge? I'd also like to hear any other dealer revenge stories.
