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. The dealer was of course really happy and thankful and put the token/chip in her pocket straight away. However, it didn't take long before another player at Farha's table noticed what he did and asked him if he really wanted to give her $25,000 in tip? Sammy Farha then changed his mind and asked the dealer to give back his money.

At first, the dealer didn't want to give back the money. But Farha and some other poker players managed to convince her with 2 arguments. First off, they told her that she couldn't get cash for the token at any casino in the whole world. Secondly, they told her that she probably would have to check for a new job if she didn't return the token.
