Poker tourney rules question..

[Syringer]

The scenario..say small/big blinds are $500/$1000*, and in the previous hand one player ends up with $200, so he can't even cover the small blind in the next hand. Can he still go in the next hand and split the amount he puts in, or is his pot just kaput?

*monetary values exaggerated for effect

He puts in his $200 as the small blind and is considered all-in. He can win a side pot of $200 x the number of players that call or raise preflop.

No he has to take off his watch or some other form of collateral and throw it into the pot.

i don't think in a standard poker tourney you are allowed to bring in chips or other things of value into play

I think the sarcasm meter was off.

well the real answer would be to ask before you end up in the situation.
