Picture the scene - you are at the cash desk of a casino cashing in for a large amount.

You walk out to the carpark counting up your chips when suddenly you realise there's been a huge mistake - you have an extra $10k in chips!

What would you do?

Most of us like to think we are honorable members of society but in reality the vast majority would look left and right in a shifty fashion before jumping in the car and doing a runner.

Not Stu Rutter though. He turned back and returned the chips.

"I felt like I didn't want someone to get the sack because of it," explained Rutter.

"What's sort of scary is that my seat number on the plane over here... was 10k!"

All very coincidental we're sure, but whatever his reasons for returning the money, his gesture of goodwill seems to be having a good karma knock-on effect as he is currently amongst the chip leaders in the $2.5k Razz tournament.

Would you have returned the money?

    I would return it. I want to be happy, not guilty.

    It depends on how much money i had.Obviously these guys are rich enough to be playing in 10k tournys so returning the equivilent of a buy-in ,to do a good deed and maybe save someones job is no problem.But if it was me at the moment i wouldn't be so considerate ,a free 10k would be like winning the lottery.But if i was rich i would for sure
