There's a smidgen of controversy down in the cardroom at the moment as Scotty Nguyen raised a paw to complain about hand-for-hand. With the tables unbalanced at five and six, the initial plan of action was to play hand-for-hand two away from the money. However, even though the EPT main event was hand-for-hand with 58 remaining and 56 getting paid, the rules state that hand-for-hand should occur one place away from the prize money. Nguyen, himself on the more populated table, was the sole protester to this decision, and so it was ruled that normal play would continue until 10 remained.

"That's a bad idea," moaned Isaac Haxton.

"We could just play slowly," threatened Benyamine.

"I'm sorry, but all players need to agree to go hand-for-hand now," was the inevitable reply.
