With the board showing {8-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{J-Spades}{7-Diamonds} and 70,000 already in the pot, Tommy Vu stood up from his chair and told his opponent "If you got me, you got me -- I'm all in," pushing his remaining 17,000 in front of him. His opponent called, Vu showed pocket sixes, and his opponent mucked.

An elated Vu then pulled out a $100 bill to hand to the dealer. "No dealer ever treated me this nice," he said. (The dealer, of course, did not accept the money.) Vu was up to 107,000.

As if to prove the dealer treats all the same, on the very next hand Vu lost a Big Slick-vs.-queens confrontation with the same player, and slipped back to 66,000.
