A player came to take his seat, showed the dealer his registration card and then asked why there was another persons seat assignment card at his seat? The dealer called over a floor person to resolve the matter, and after reading the name on the card out loud, the player laughed, "Oh, that's my name," he said. Looking a little embaressed, he put on his sunglasses and shades to hide his red face and sat down.
