Moving a Player From One Table to Another

Hi,

I was in a satellite Texas Holdem tournament in Casino du Liban in Lebanon just a month ago. Well, something happened.

The dealer first asked us to place the small and big blinds while afterwards he started shuffling the cards. Few seconds and he started distributing the cards but the manager interrupted and told me I should take my chips from inside the line and then gather all my chips so I can move in to another table.

Now, I want to know if he actually has the power to move a player at such point he has already posted the blind, any thoughts? In satellite tournaments, is there any rules I should know with regards to moving players from one table to another?

Thanks!

Lileberg,

The floor staff have the ability to move you at any time to balance tables. It does not matter if you have posted your blind or not. As long as cards have not been dealt to you, the floor person can move you.
