A Word from Jack Effel
1. You must be at your seat before the last card is dealt, otherwise you will have a dead hand.
2. You cannot be on a cellphone or text messaging when the first card is dealt. If you are, you're hand is declared dead.
3. You cannot put chips in your pockets or conceal them anyway or take them off the tournament floor, they will be taken out of play.
