I don't see a problem wiht this as he seemed to understand the value of what he was dealing. There was a time when I said no to a deal the two players had agrred to. A hotel guest had bought intot a WSOP satellite without really understanding waht it was (she was a hotel guest, wanted to play and this is waht was starting, so she bought in wihtout concern for what the prizes were). In this first palce was a seat valued at over $2k and second place was the odd cash left over after the seat (about$200). When it got heads up the hotel guest had about 90% of the chips. The regular who was about to be blind out says "since you won't be here anyway how about if I just take the seat and you can take the money." I did not allow this deal as the hotel guest didn't understand the value of the seat etc. We explained to her that the seat was transferable and we knew people that would buy it from her. The hotel guest was very happy that she was about to get $2k instead of $200. Normally the casino should take no interest in teh outcome of a tournament, but they do have an obligation to protect anyone that doesn't understand the deal making process.
