Ok, it seems that STEP tournament won't work out for us. The problem occurs when players buy in for cash - that money is automatically added to the prize pool and distributed to winning player(s) in addition to tickets to the next level.

We have disabled the STEP tournaments until we figure out how to fix this leak. The following players have been awarded chips in lieu of their step tickets:

simondelf step3, step5 = 10400 chips
trader step4 = 2000 chips
thing1 step2 = 80 chips
RulerKhan step2 = 80 chips
pkhoveli step4 = 2000 chips
New_AI_Bot step2 = 80 chips
khomata step4 = 2000 chips
grandsuper step4 = 2000 chips
DuncanBuck step 3 = 400 chips
disconected step2 = 80 chips
Aggo step 5 = 10000 chips


We will check the log for the last STEP5 tournament and award 50K, 30K and 20K chips to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place respectively.
