Re: checks from poker sites
I'd call and ask.
In Canada you can take a cheque to the issuing bank and either cash it or pay a small fee and have it certified. Once certified you can then cash it at your bank with no hold.
Depending on your banking history you might be able to get you bank to stop putting holds on the cheques. They will probably say no as from their perspective $15k has cycled though the account in 60 days yet given your urgency I assume the balance is less then 20% of that amount. Still the worst they can say is no.
