Just as the third level was starting Mel Judah made a late arrival to the tournament only to discover that his chip stack at Table 6, Seat 10 was nowhere to be found! Then, while the floor was scrambling to locate it, another player was moved into his seat! Thankfully, the Crown staff quickly fixed the problem and Judah was able to begin his tournament-- playing at his assigned table, but in a different seat. Gentleman that he is, Mel took it all in stride, waiting patiently and sipping a latte while everything was straightened out.
