Calling it a Night

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Though we were scheduled to play down to the final table of eight, the tournament directors have made the decision to end the day's play at the conclusion of this level, in about 13 minutes time. The remaining players will return at 3:30 PM local time to continue play.

Reason being? Unlike Las Vegas casinos, which would never even think of closing, the Casino Barcelona opens at 3 p.m. every day and by law, must close at precisely 4 a.m.

Chips Ahoy.

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

There is a short break on the featured table while they go to the overhead camera to determine who is the owner of a stray (small) stack of chips. In the blur that was the Junglen double up, the players seem to not to be able to remember whose chips they are. Short break to figure it out.
