For tournaments with guaranteed prizes, the Casino will pay the difference between the guaranteed amount and the prize pool if the guaranteed amount is not covered. 3. Subject to the application of Section 13, as appropriate, each participant may register only once. 4. Third party representation at the Tournament is strictly prohibited. 5. Employees of the Société des casinos du Québec inc. ( SCQ ) may not participate in a Tournament. 6. Position assignments at the start of the Tournament and at the beginning of the final game, if appropriate, will be determined by random draw. 7. All will begin Tournament play at the same time. 8. If an unoccupied position remains available after the Tournament start signal, a participant may reregister up until the end of the first break. The stake for such will be as indicated in Section Participants who arrive after the start signal may join a Tournament, although they must take into consideration that the dealer will have collected chips in the amount of each blind that would have been played had the participant been present. However, will be deemed to have dropped out of the Tournament as soon as one of the two following situations occurs: 1) their stake is insufficient to cover the blind they would have had to play were they present, or 2) their rank during the Tournament, had they been present, would have qualified them to win a Tournament prize. 10. If no unoccupied positions are available, who so wish may, up until the end of Level 4, have their names added to a waiting list for a chance to play in a Tournament in the event a position becomes free following a participant s elimination. Should a break be underway when the registration period ends, registrations will continue to be accepted until the Tournament resumes. The stake for such will be as indicated in Section At the start of a Tournament, each participant will receive non cashable tournament chips in the amount of fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000) for regular sixty five dollar ($65) tournaments, and twenty five thousand dollars ($25,000) for Deep Stack tournaments and fifty thousand dollars ($50 000) for Mega Stack tournaments. 12. During a Tournament, tournament chips must always remain in the designated chip area on the table and in sight of other. 13. No resupply will be permitted during a Tournament. Participants who are eliminated from the Tournament prior to the end of the first break may, however, re register for the same Tournament subject to the conditions indicated in Sections 8 and 10. Such new registration is, therefore, not considered resupply.

3 Daily Texas Hold em Poker Tournaments November If, before the first (1 st ) break, consider their stake insufficient, they may, if allowed at the table, surrender and have their name added to the waiting list for a chance to again participate in the same Tournament, following the order on the list, if and when a seat becomes available. A Supervisor will remove abandoned chips from the Tournament. Should the surrender take place during a Bounty tournament, the Bounty amount will be placed in the pot for the following hand at the table where the surrender occurred. 15. The game category will be no limits. 16. For the first hand of a Tournament at each table, as well as for the first hand of the final game at the table designated for that purpose, the dealer button will be placed at the first position on the dealer s right. 17. The player who pays the big blind must place an additional bet in an amount that increases once per round. The amount of the required additional bet is equal to the amount of the big blind, and therefore increases at the same time as the big blind. The house picks up the required additional bet and the two players to the left of the button pay the small and big blinds, respectively. When there are six or fewer at the Tournament table (minimum table), the amount of the required additional bet will be equal to the small blind. At the final table, the required additional bet will be required until the end of the Tournament. 18. Bet amounts will be increased at specific rounds according to the Bet Tables indicated in Appendix A of the rules herein. 19. There will be a break after two (2) hours of play in all Tournaments. 20.

At the request of the Tournament Supervisor, a participant will move to another table and seat indicated by that official. The participant to be moved will be the player who is next to play a big blind at the table. 25. When a table is closed to reassign to other tables, position reassignment will be determined by random draw. 26. When the number of non eliminated approaches the number required for the final game or the number of Tournament prizes and at the Tournament Supervisor s sole discretion, games may be played one at a time until the appropriate number of is reached. 27. Once the number of required for the final game has been reached, the position assignment of such at the designated table will be determined by random draw. 28.

4 Daily Texas Hold em Poker Tournaments November When more than one participant is eliminated in the same hand of a Tournament, the participant who started the hand with the highest stake will end with the highest rank among concerned, provided that they played at the same table.

It is understood that there may not be a tie for 1 st place. 30. At the last stage of a Tournament, in the final game who have the most tournament chips will receive, as appropriate, a Tournament prize matching their rank as indicated in the Prize Distribution table matching the Tournament type and number of Tournament.
