(Spoilers) The first cheater...

The guy who Jack got banned from the casino after he cheated and who he later beat the *beep* out of - the thought just occurred to me after watching this movie several times that given he cheated RIGHT after Jani sat down and started playing that his father/Jani planted that guy as a test. It's arguable he wasn't given the encounter outside of the casino, but it seems like too much of a coincidence given they ultimately want Jack to accuse a cheater later on.

Any thoughts?
