Ocean's Eleven (Solution)

by Amos Eshel, idea by Bryce Herdt

The answers can all be laid out as a "jumping crossword" on an 11x6 grid, where letters are reused if and only if the character fed the casino.

The character answers are to be arranged as the characters appear on the round page, which matches the order of their recruitment in the 2001 film. The casino answers are to be arranged as they are on the strip, which is partially given by their list order next to each thief. This is the completely filled grid:

           11
  12345678901

1 BIALDMWOINM
2 OKEYBOARSDO
3 SEAPUHAWKIS
4 TACLLADEIGA
5 RERADENEMHE
6 GGENLETICTS

The following grid only displays letters at intersections between character and casino. A hyphen ( - ) is used for the letters in casino answers that don't overlap character answers. A pipe ( | ) is used for letters in the character answers that don't overlap casino answers.

Reading the overlapping letters spells out the round's answer: BANK BREAKS ALL AGREEMENTS.
