Im stuck going to this thing tomarrow now and will save further comments for how the event is organized once i get there.
Sure, but there is television coverage in the bounty tournament and you can switch your buyin to that.
Also, I would imagine Stars was planning to send tons of staff/employees/sponsors/partners to the tournament. Now they have to take their name off it a few days before it starts and I doubt they can get refunds for their own hotel rooms if they can't get it for their players. So I'm sure Stars is sending a bunch of people they wouldn't send to a tournament they don't sponsor.
That's not to say they couldn't have done anything about this. I don't know that (obviously you would have to know what they agreed to, how certain it was and what happened with the regulators to begin to answer this), but it seems a stretch to start calling for a lawsuit in this situation.

I know you can filter by stack size, but i doubt you can do effective stacks. Should i assume you already know how to filter opponents stats by absolute stack sizes?
The only issue is the complaints from players of "I couldn't see my bankroll so I didn't know I was risking my last $100." I guess they could modify it so that it only allows you to hide your bankroll if you're risking less than 5% of your roll or something. Still, there could be other concerns.
I think there was a way to filter for eff stacks but it doesn't really work and HEM hasn't fixed it up yet.
