I only made the original post as an interest anecdote/public service announcement. However, since making that post, I've thought about this a little more and now feel more strongly.
I was there. I heard everything. And I felt at the time, and still feel now, that nothing "shady" was going on. As far as I can tell, the player made an honest mistake, and the floorperson did his best to reconcile things to that player's satisfaction. I can say that I'm confident that things are on the up and up because I witnessed it. So don't misconstrue this post as an accusation of anything nefarious.
But what if I wasn't there, and I just heard about this?
No one else at the table saw the camera footage. No one else in the room saw the camera footage. Do we know that the guy checking the camera isn't in kahootz with the player? Do we know what, if any, procedures there are to independently verify the camera footage?
All we have is a guy who "says" he has a full house, and a floor person who says "yeah I went in the back, by myself, and saw the full house. Scout's honor"
That's really not very convincing.
Granted, such a scam is a real long-shot possibility. And every other interaction I've had with Chaser's personnel has been pleasant and professional, so I'm not suspicious of anyone in this particular incident. But I don't speak for everyone.
Mr. Chip, congrats on running a fine establishment, but you got this one wrong. I realize you want to stick up for your employees, and that your/his goal here was to simply "get it right". However, that's really not ok in my opinion.
There's a HUGE difference between a hand that's tabled in the open, in a room with 200 people, and a hand that's only seen by one guy, by himself, in a backroom. And in terms of integrity and fairness, the distinction matters.
