Default Dealer advises opponent. Whaddya do?

So I'm playing $15/30 at Bellagio and a huge pot comes up. Long story short, I have QQ and the board is J55T. It's the turn. I have check-raised this guy who I am pretty sure is holding JT - you should have seen him light up when the T fell. And the pot is gigantic because it was five bets seven ways preflop.

He is grabbing for more chips.

Dealer leans over and tells him that if I have an overpair then JT is no good.

I didn't react at the time - I was too busy worrying about the inevitable J, T, K or A river - but obviously I should have done something. What should I have done?

Guy.

Raised holy hell, called the floor and never tip that a-hole again. A kick in the nuts isn't enough in this situation.

Wow. I have no advice for you because I rarely play live, but that is absolutely disgusting.

show no reaction until pot is over. then, after the hand, immediately call the floor. this would be grounds for firing imo.

Yea i guess important to not lose control totally, play the hand out then calmly approach the floor and explain what just happened to them

I wouldnt make a scene really. No need to make yourself look like a knob, but yeah. The floor has to hear about this quick smart.

What should I have done?

Tell the dealer politely only one person to a hand.

If you won the pot, do not toke the dealer. Call the floor over and calmly explain what happened.

I would probably never tip this dealer again...ever.

Finish the hand, sit the next hand out and have a little conversation with the floor. No need to create a scene in front of the table.
