In the Stu Ungar book they talk about a dealer who took $800 off of a 3/6 table in one hour.

From the book: "..in Vegas, dealers pretty much took whatever they wanted, and any player who complained was instructed to read a small sign posted in every card room alerting players that the house could take up to 50 percent of each pot. Although few dealers actually took 50 percent, some of them came close. As a result, the smaller games in particular were practically unbeatable. One dealer at the Stardust allegedly set the record for 'snatching,' as the practice was called. He snatched $800 in a single hour at a $3/$6 game - the equivalent of taking just about every chip off the table, based on the player's average buy-in."
