Yea, but it took 3 hours for everyone to get paid! Louisiana law says that any payout over 100K has to be verified by the State Police. They took their sweet time getting to the casino, not arriving until 7:30pm. Still, 5K for a 3 1/2 hour down is not too shabby.

One more thing about the dealers. I'd have to say MOST were very professional and competent, but one....ARGH! Guy 2 seats to my left says, "raise", and proceeds to move his chips in two seperate stacks of 4 towards the middle. One stack falls to the felt, so he reaches back for it after the first stack goes into the middle. Of course, a fish on the other end of the table screams, "String bet!", to which the horrible dealer says, "That's a sting bet." Guy says, "[censored], I said raise.", which I confirmed to the dealer. Dealer says she didn't hear him say it and will not allow the raise. Guy goes on to win the hand anyway. The reason she didn't hear it, was because she was yapping with the player in seat ten.

A few hands later the same guy is in a hand on the river with the guy in seat one. A 4th diamond hits the river and when the cards are turned over seat one has 2 pair, while our guy has made the diamond flush with his QQ. The dealer mucks our guys hand, INSANITY ensues, the tape is rolled back, because of course the dumb-a$$ dealer, who was yapping again with seat ten doesn't believe me or anyone else that he had the flush.

Our guy asks the floor to replace the incompent dealer and the floor complies! But I think that her down was about over anyway.

Thanks for listening again.
