Acccording to different rumors, Sammy Farha, the american poker pro, gave a $25,000 token/chip in tip to a dealer at Bobby's Room (Bellagio) in Las Vegas a while ago.

I think its sick that the dealer didnt say anything, so i think the dealer is the jerk... If you're raised properly and someone gives u that kind of money you say this is too much, are you sure?

Would it not be insulting to the Pro player to point out he does not know the value of the chips he is playing with? If someone wants to give me $25k i wont question it. Just had a quick google to find out...seams that the story is a few years old? The dealer was given 2x5K chips by players and a 25K chip by sammy. I want a job at the Bellagio....

Hello everybody! In France we say "give" is given. And take back is stealing. Frankly I think he missed class what is 25k for him. See you soon for new posts lol!

Lmao... taking back the tip... What an a*****e. It's rlly lame what he did. About the job....anyone know how much people already w8ing in the line out there?
I dont get the fact that the dealer wouldnt have been able to cash it out. Was it because S Farha wanted it back or just casino policy? I thought they got tips all the time - why get tipped chips you cant spend? I also agree Farha is a bit of a d**k over all this......

Wow what a horrible story. From the title of the article, I was ready to applaud Sammy for being so generous to the (presumingly) underpaid card distributor . . . obviously, what transpired in the article itself is borderline disgusting. Did Sammy not realize the value of the chip or straight Indian give?!?!? Either way, it's kinda b******t.
