Hectic at the Sportsman

It's been an unsual day at the Sportsman. There have been a few teething troubles today, which is to be expected given the logistics of the event. There seem to be some frustration among the staff here, with a number of arguments breaking out.

In a few other instances, dealers have been forgetting to take blinds from players and some pots were missing bets as a result. The room has been quite chilly for some, which has been voiced by a few players, and the card room has also been at times interrupted by the sound of music coming from other rooms.

In fairness, running an event in multiple locations with inexperienced staff cannot be easy, and the floor staff have been reacting extremely well to the challenges put in front of them.
