A salute to fallen comrades
Emad Tahtouh is the latest player to break a chair in the tournament area. It was quickly replaced by a member of the tournament staff, and the dead chair was taken to the chair graveyard behind a PokerStars.net screen near media row. That makes the dead chair count at least five, but given the fragility displayed by these chairs, the number is most likely higher.
A floor person has also just announced that, "No smoking in the tournament area also means no smoking on the rail. You need to be inside the restaurant area." We've seen several players over the last few days run to the rail for a quick cigarette and then run back to their tables.
