As if PLO8 Bad Beats Aren't Enough

While we were wandering the floor, a floor supervisor and a security supervisor approached a player at Table 68, confirmed his name, and asked him if he had been playing blackjack around 11am this morning. The player said that he had been. The floor then explained that the player was overpaid $500 during a color-up, and that the casino would like the $500 back.

The player was confused at first, asking questions about what exactly happened and why it happened. The floor explained that the surveillance footage showed the player being over-paid during a color-up and that the director of table games had asked that the money be recovered. It was at that point that the player started to get angry, saying he had no way of verifying what they were saying was true.

"I can't really believe you guys are interrupting me in the middle of the tournament for this."

"You'd rather we wait until you go broke?" the security supervisor responded.

The player then said that he just wanted to play his hand and the last twenty minutes of the level, and that he couldn't believe they were interrupting him during work. The floor replied that it was easier to find the player while they had a seat assignment for him.

"To tell you the truth, we don't even have to let you play any other hands. We can pull you out right now," the floor explained.

"Twenty minutes guys, please?" the player responded. "I'll come find you."
