Terrible ruling at Binion's last night

[beetyjoose]

Does anyone else think this is not that big of a deal? Obviously, it seems strange to me that Binion's wouldn't just elimnate the player from the torny, forfeit his entry and toss him out as soon as they realized he was under-age.

But does it really matter that much if someone else plays for him? I understand your comparison about getting a better player midway through the torny, but i don't really see how in this case it really affects the game. You still need to beat multiple players to win the tournament; some good, some bad. I just don't see how this one kid is going to alter the game that significantly.

The only thing I could think of, was if someone had a good read on the original guy and now he was gone. But since you hadn't mentioned that, I suppose it wasn't a concern of yours.
