Lights Out
Yesterday, there was an issue with a couple of the tables on the tournament floor. One table had a massive drink spill from one of the players that caused everyone seated to pick up their chips and relocate across the room. Another table's overhead light went out in the middle of the tournament causing the players to be seated in the dark. Those players were moved as well.
