Is she watching 'High Stakes Poker' on GSN? Big stakes cash game with cash on the table. Also at the end of some big tournaments, when they get heads up, the cash is piled high on the table as incentive and/or flashy television stuff.

Yeah, I think it's mostly flash. At any casino I know of, that cash would be changed to chips before the dust from putting it on the felt settled.

I don't know about High Stakes Poker, but quite often the lumps of cash on the table at the end of tournaments are actually bricks of $1 bills. For security, y'know... so if somebody runs off with one, they only get a few hundred bucks.

Which is why I always found the cash presentation at the WPT Aviation Club episodes to be a laugh - there's about a dozen wads of pretty coloured Euro bills there, but it's as much money as pretty much any other one they play
