No, not me.

I’ve seen a few cases of it happening on those Travel Channel “Don’t Cheat” shows, and I really wonder how, after some huge disruption, chips are sorted out back to the players at said table.

Anyone know?

Do those tables actually tip over in real life?

Since the table has a camera recording everything, I bet that would come into play.

FWIW, when it happened in a home tournament, the remaining players split the pot.

The table was not salvageable.
