Extended Hand-For-Hand Play

[user67765]

After a rush of early eliminations we thought that we were right on the money bubble after we went into hand-for-hand play but it appears we have started hand-for-hand a little prematurely. We started five places away from the money bubble, which is a little unusual, as normally hand-for-hand would only occur right on the money bubble. We still require three more bustouts until we hit the money, which means the bubble may drag out a little longer than normal.

Deal The Next Hand.....Noooooo!

[user67765]

With over 20 tables to watch during hand-for-hand play it can prove to be a little confusing for the tournament director to keep track of which hands have been finished.

Twice already during hand-for-hand play the tournament director has announced for the dealers to commence the next hand, only to receive a loud roar of "Nooooooo!!!!" from a table in the corner of the room still trying to complete a hand.
