I don't play there, my dad does (fairly often), but maybe someone else on this forum that plays there more regularly can confirm or deny this rumor...
I was there the day the BBJ hit, it hit 3am and I wasn't there at the time but I heard everyone talking about it. It was 181k, it was hit by an 18 yr old (out of towner, first time in a casino, lol), and he had no clue that he hit it. His share was 90k pre-tax, about 63k after tax and he toked about 4-5k (after being encouraged by the regs).
It's definitely true that SOMEONE at the table didn't have the player's card, because for the rest of the weekend the floor staff were policing player's card as I've never seen before. The dealers were pretty hush hush about it, but there's a good chance it was actually the 18 yr old kid, apparently someone bought him a card afterwards and they paid everything out. I can see how regs would be upset, since if they had nullified the BBJ, they'd still have a chance of winning it. And no one likes when a non-reg from out of town hits it...
