Mr. Slickdeals is back ... He's decided to go into the poker tournament business to supplement his sweepstakes sponsoring income.
He's finding that this group of people are a little more demanding than any of his sweepstakes participants. So, he's had the players submit their food & drink orders prior to the beginning of the tourney. Being a shrewd (somewhat skewed) businessman, he's decided to charge the players at the final table for whatever they ate or drank. What a cheapskate!
So, Monday morning rolls around, the tourney's over and Mr. Slickdeals begins the process of sending out prizes & food/drink bills when he realizes that, yet again, his computer has crashed (Mr. Slickdeals needs a new computer!). From the notes he's taken, can you determine how much money each player started and ended with & what they had to eat and drink?
1. The beer-drinking Rambunctious didn't have a bologna sandwich. The person who had pastrami exactly doubled their money. Big John started with $250.
2. Vec is not the person who started with $350 and ended with $450. The lemonade drinker, not Iconian, didn't have a turkey sandwich.
3. Mavtech started with more money than the ham sandwich eater but he ended with $100 less than the tequila drinker.
4. The person eating a turkey sandwich ended the day with more money than the iced tea drinker but less than the person who had roast beef.
5. Vec didn't drink tequila. The vodka drinker didn't start with $400 but he ended with $150 more than he started with. The person who had a ham sandwich had $300 to start with, but it wasn't Vec.
6. The five players were Mavtech, the man who started with $500, the person who had a turkey sandwich, the man who ended with $600 and the iced tea drinker.

Thank you for another fun and entertaining puzzle! I look forward to the continuing of Mr. Slickdeals' adventures. Quite a character!
I'm glad I already had enough food & drink for this long tournament!
Great Teaser. Keep them coming.
This was an excellent puzzle. The start and end money drove me crazy. Thanks and keep them coming.
I did it! Took me a while. You are a master at wordplay.
Took me a while to figure it out, and when I did I still had two messed up. But it was only the drinks so I guess that's not bad, must have read one of the clues wrong.
Great puzzle. I had it down to the last 2 drinks and got stuck...must have read the clues at least 5 more times before I finally got it. Look forward to more.
wow I can't believe I didn't mess up any of the numbers AND got it on the first try!! Great puzzle!!!
Great teaser! More Mr. Slickdeals?? Can't wait. Thanks for the brain workout!
That was a fun puzzle. Tho, I mixed up the ham and turkey sandwich eaters.
