: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
In an unusual sight within the world of poker reporting, we just saw the tournament clock showing total players remaining tick upwards instead of signalling the loss of another player.
With hand-for-hand play having been underway for the last hour or so, this development understandably caused confusion among the remaining field, as everybody in the room believed that the next elimination would burst the bubble.
Apparently a dealer handed in a seating card to the staff by mistake, and that led to the count being revised downward to 201, but after a room-wide head count it turns out 202 players remain.
Instead, we will need two more stacks to be absorbed before the last 200 players with chips to play with earn a min-cash.
