ayep.

it was Saturday and the banks were closed.

he since got a fonecall from mgmt and they apologized

i still don't understand why a competent manager didn't just approve it ... fuck, they pay you w/a check, wtf not take a cashier check? i'd lay even money Jesus or Negreanu pay w/a personal check ...

what sucks is that my friend was on the bubble of the final table at WSOP this year, and walked w/roughly half a mil. he told the stupid fucks that and they just stared at him like deer looking in headlights ...gawd i miss the old days when people had brains & balls.

still, i woulda took cash like GC. at WSOP i was wandering around w/a few $k in my pocket w/o a 2nd thought ... it's Vegas for cryin out loud. little old ladies are packin a few $k in quarters in their purses

thanks for your thoughts guys!
