Discussions Between the Players

tRaMSt0p

Level 5 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The final nine players have had discussions revolving around an attempted nine-way chop - albeit jokingly - while also more seriously ending play early for Day 1.

With the tournament set as a three-day event, it has been brought to the attention of the ARIA Poker staff. Tournament Director Paul Campbell explained to the players that if play does reach eight-handed play, there will be a more serious discussion about whether or not play should be paused to protect the integrity of the tournament.

Until then, play will continue.
