Huntly's Table Unhappy

As anyone who has been on the APPT circuit knows, Commissioner Danny McDonagh's tournaments play under the rubric that a difference of two at tables is fine. That is, with play at most tables nine-handed, it's ok if one table loses two players. They can continue to play seven-handed without a player being broken to the table to balance it to eight players.

Huntly and two other players are unhappy with this. "Ten to eight would be fine," said one player, "but nine to seven is completely different." Another player added, "If I wanted to play seven-handed, I'd have signed up for the side event!"

A table was broken five minutes later so it wound up not to matter much.
