Recently I was in a tournament at Americas Card Room and the tournament has "issues" a few hours in.

The tournament was canceled and any players in play when this happened were refunded.

So, say there were 300 people in the game and the buy-in was $20 + $2. Now say that when the game went down half (150 players) were out. That would mean the site keeps $3300, not counting rebuys for the "trouble".

This has happened to me more than a couple times and after playing a long time and being in a good position when this happens sucks but I guess not for everyone...

Don't they pay you out the value of your stack if tournament goes down?
