3. Any player caught cheating, or who demonstrates offensive behavior towards employees or other players may be disqualified from the tournament.

If more than one player is eliminated at the completion of a hand, the awarding of prize money will be based on the amount in the players bankroll at the start of the hand.

Did I miss a joke or something?

[Nut Flush]

My guess is our "guest" is the one who is an idiot. Not only did he bump an old post, he must have thought it was new and all the dates for Casino Rama have expired. However, there is still one left. Who is the idiot now Mr. "guest"?
