A Long and Unfair Walk?

The "TV" table is a long way from the Las Vegas room here at the Crown Casino. For most of this Main Event the "TV" feature table has gone up to the Crown Tower studio, played a 90 minute round and been swapped for another table of players for the next round. Now that we are playing with fewer and fewer players, there is always the possibility of needing to balance tables.

That is what just happened. The "TV" table had six players and the other tables in the poker room had five each and then one was lost. So naturally one of the players from the "TV" table had to make the trek down to the poker room and by random draw a player who (name withheld) was not in the best of physical shape was asked no only to move but to move quickly to the Las Vegas room.

His chips arrived several minutes before he did and when he did arrive it was out of breath and thirsty. He complained to the tournament director about the disadvantage he was now under but play goes on.

One railbird was heard to say: "Why not have all the other players jog once around the room, just to be fair."
