We're now on the No Limit half, and blinds have dropped by half compared to the limit game. This is an evening event, so it's a good bet that toward the end of the night, some player's going to forget whether it's limit or no limit and get themselves in trouble!

Seat 10 Seeding

[user38368]

The WSOP had more entrants than expected in Event #2, the $1,500 No Limit Hold'em event. At this point in that event, they have not yet broken tables now needed for this event, Event #4. Therefore, several registered players have seat cards on tables that are occupied. The staff is seeding those players in Seat 10 on existing tables. Yes, every single possible table is completely full!
