A Las Vegas cab driver is being called a hero for returning $300,000 left behind in the backseat of his cab.

Gerardo Gamboa found a brown paper bag filled with six stacks of cash on Monday.

He immediately turned in the cash to his bosses who tracked down the owner, an unidentified poker player.

Gamboa was given a $1,000 reward by the cab company.
