They take you out back and cut it off with a circular saw. At least then there’s no more “fat fingering” to worry about.

Unlikely; if it were lower stakes, maybe, but even high end poker houses are not such high margin enterprises that they can afford to comp $10k to an angry customer because of dealer error. Maybe some smaller comp, but not the whole pot.
