....as will the EPT, GKPT (one assumes), WSOP-E, APAT, & just about every other Tourney & event. Common sense rules!

The Stanley casino Tile Hill Coventry moves the smallest stack, saw it done on Tuesday straight into the big blind.

And according to World Poker Rules (Thomas Kremsers new rules site, and the new TDA rules) on the splitting of tables you can be moved straight into the small blind, which i am not sure i agree with?

[Ironside]

impossible to move into the SB as the BB would then have to BB then BB the SB
only way i can see it possible to move into SB is if both the BB and SB move into empty seats on left of button
after a tbale break down

eh? How so?

[phatomch]

with grosvenor players may move to any position on the table bar in between the dealer and small blind. players may come in on the sb, bb and the button

flushy

i am in seat 5 and bb seat 4 is vacant seat 3 is sb seat 2 is button

next hand someone is moved into seat 4 seat 3 is now button seat 4 is sb who pays the bb seat 5 thats who

so thats why you cannont move someone into the sb

i know this as on my first trip to the vic it happened to me and i didnt kick up a big enough fuss as i was unsure of rules

and didnt want to make a spectacle of myself

[Royal Flush]

Sorry i was assuming a dead SB situation. In the situation you described i guess they mean you would be allowed to guest

Theoretically it could happen if the utg was seat 5, the bb was seat 4 and the sb was seat 3.  Seat 4 gets knocked out and starts a fight with flushy causing sufficient delay for him to be replaced by the new player. 

ps in tallinn they were moving the player in exactly the same relative button position as the eliminated player including the sb on a couple of occasions.
