It's not THAT big a deal.
Hi
I saw this dialog in a tv series :
-Here is to Sam and his awesome LSAT victory.
-It's not that big a deal.
I know what big a deal means but i don't understand why 'that' was put.
Someone tell me?
Thanks in advance!

It's common in casual speech. It could be replaced by such. A different expression is: It isn't a very big deal.
