Oh well that's a relief then. Thank your friend the doctor for us.

Wow, what ****ty online law school did you graduate from? You should ask for your money back.

I'm still laughing at this:

I never claimed to be a lawyer. But I did sleep at a Holiday Inn express last night.

Unreal, I hope the guy is in jail right now. Most likely though, he will just get a slap on the hand. OK, bad joke. But seriously, this type of behavior is unacceptable. I really do hope he gets punished for doing what he did to the dealer.

Who are these people that make these gestures and actions that could harm other people around them? There is no excusive for a dealer getting a broken hand ever when dealing. My gods have all of you lost your mind

Thang Luu of Las Vegas made his first World Series of Poker cash in the 2005 casino employee no-limit hold'em event, wherein he placed third.

Wow! Just browsed is bio on Cardplayer. Does anyone know if he was a dealer before? I know you just have to work at a casino to play the employee event.
