I totally agree with Bowie...... It has always worried me that tourneys give you your winnings and cash then show you the door.

I don't know exactly where the Grandstand Casino is located in Billings, Montana, but after briefly looking at their webpage it appears to me that this property is a small neighborhood sports bar for locals. Carrying a good chunk of money in this type of surroundings is simply asking for trouble. He should have requested a cashier's check (if available) instead.
