We don't know who did it, but one poker player has just made the lady at the Mexican food stand in the Poker Kitchen incredibly happy, by tipping her $100.

Andrew Kerstine was reduced to just 10,000 when he couldn't beat Hope Williams' 
for two pair at the end of a 
board.
And so it was that Kerstine found himself all in a hand or two later, and up against Terrence Chan and Adrian Dresel-Velasquez. By the time the

which had made a set.
Kerstine duly hit the rail.
