I agree, it's more complicated than it first appears. However, in this case I believe that he did not cash out. It was taken from his account.

Agreed. My point was, UB can't just go and give him the money. If they did, that would open the floodgates for people faking similar situations.

Well, James is a little slow, but the money was re-deposited to them, despite UB not yet finding the money.

For those of you wondering, this guy was in the WSOP last year and won $20,000. He also made the final table I believe at an Aruba event and made another tiny profit.
