Emergency Situation Bursts the Bubble
With antes being 100 per player, anticipation was high that this player would not last very much longer. What was slightly unexpected was that he would end up being our bubble boy.
Under the rules here, any player not in his seat and all in is an instant muck. Sure enough, this player's chips were all in, the cards were dealt, and he hadn't returned to the Amazon room.
As his chips were scooped up by the player who won the hand, our Tournament Director announced, "Congratulations!" over the loud speaker and was met with a triumphant cheer from the remaining 198 players.
