Was he perhaps removed by the TD?
12th Chess.com Tournament

I'm so excited for the next round to start. But I was looking at the Round 2 pairing and noticed something weird. In group five, a player with 8.0 points is shown as advancing, but there is a player with 8.5 points that is eliminated. How is this possible? It doesn't say that his account was closed or that he withdrew from the tourney.
The account is closed. From here http://www.chess.com/tournaments/player_summary.html?id=23385&member=cokolado click on "My Complete profile".
There is no "badge" when players close their own accounts or it is closed for them but not for cheating.
