Default Disqualified.......

Surprised not to see anything here about Jonathan Kinchen getting DQ’ed at The NHC this weekend. You must be there in person to play, but he was at a Gulfstream for The big race and had someone else putting in his plays in Vegas. As a former champion, I’m sure he is familiar with the rules. He cheated deliberately and said it was worth it even though he got caught.

I added a comma. Why don’t you enlighten us with what is inaccurate ?

Nothing to do with a comma. What year did Kinchen win the tournament?

Glad to see you’re alive.

Thanks knicks. I actually like Kinchen. Anyone with a Zenyatta tattoo is cool in my book. I don’t think he should blow the job (s) over it. It’s kind of bizarre though.

Ironically enough the Zenyatta tattoo is what made me realize what a douche he was

Think a mere DQ and not a ban should be the punishment here. Not like he gained any strategic advantage. **** I've seen a very well known players wife sitting at a table reading a book during the heat of a tournament with no computer, forms and she had an entry. Also saw same guy always accompanying her to the machines and would be leaning over watching every move.

This year also noticed a well know player who always has a 'secretary' with him and she was in front of me at the machines. Didn't see him place a bet the entire weekend.

NTRA proudly announced how this was first DQ in tournament history as if it were a badge of honor. I see it as an indictment on how pitiful they are in policing their tournament. They do a great job leading up to and the logistics of the tournament but once the gates spring it is a different story.

Also allowing runners and deferment's due to COVID is understandable even if I think there should be none. HOWEVER not notifying ALL MEMBERS that this was an option is complete and utter BULLSHIT and reeks of favoritism to all that weren't informed.

Having a Zenyatta tattoo should be enough for a 2 year ban by itself.
