Jimmy Sachinidis in dispute with Tournament Directors

With the final table of the Event 4 $1150 NLHE Re-buy on a short break, Jimmy Sachinidis comes over to try and play a few hands in this event but is told by a tournament supervisor that he is not allowed to play 2 tournaments at the same time.

Jimmy says that he was told earlier that he would be allowed to otherwise he would not have spent $16000 in tournament fees and re-buys.

Tournament Director Danny McDonagh is called over and after a discussion, Danny allows Jimmy to play a few hands whilst waiting for the final table to start up again due to the miscommunication between another tournament supervisor and Jimmy. Danny stays by the table to watch Jimmy play his hands in order to protect the integrity of the game.

The reason players are not allowed to play 2 tournaments at once is so that the game's integrity is protected as the tournament chips being used are the same.
