Laak Confused
John Hennigan showed up at his seat, or what he thought was his seat, but saw someone already there. When he looked, Phil Laak was actually in his seat. Tournament Director Matt Savage has been busy so far in the early goings and came over to settle the issue. He requested to see Laak's receipt from his tournament buy-in, which would have his original seat and table on it. Laak dug around for a bit and then finally found the receipt. His original seat was at the same table, but in the six hole, not the four. Laak mentioned that he must have been confused, thinking it was a nine-handed table instead of a six-handed one. His stack was switched with that of the empty six seat and Hennigan took his appropriate seat. Laak is now in the correct seat in the six hole.
