Two Vic cash game regulars bought in late. Were seated on the same table and got it all in on the first hand they played. AK v A7. A7 busted and went back to play in the cash games. Allegedly they also had a 20k last longer between themselves.

Full flush had his Vic bar lifted so he could play in this event. What's the odds he is rebarred before the festival is over?

wonder if other barred customers would get the same treatment.

It depends on the nature of their bar. Luke was barred for being rude to a member of staff. That kind of barring it is possible to lift. Other kinds of barring, such as those for theft, are not.

What happens to staff that either can't read or count?

Probably are loving it, great publicity, they dont have to see him anymore (again), one of em got to boot him out the building and it only cost them a sandwhich.
