Trying to sneak your way around paying the big blind at the Borgata Summer Poker Open? It might cost you far more than you bargained for.

One player found that out the hard way after attempting to avoid posting their big blind. Tournament staff quickly stepped in, issuing the player a penalty of one full orbit plus one hand.

The punishment ensured the player had to pay both of their blinds before being allowed back into the tournament, wiping out any potential advantage they hoped to gain.
