Event 3 - $1,500 No Limit Holdem Day 2 | 2007 World Series of Poker

06-03-2007 16:49 UTC-7

What's an extra 15 or 20 minutes to the players in the event? What's the big deal?

Well several of the players in the Day Two restart of the $1500 NLHE event were planning to play fast and either build a big stack or bustout and go play the 5 PM Stud8/Omaha8 tournament. These players are affected by the unscheduled stoppages in play.

A similiar situation occurred last year when a PLO event was halted when all the the players got up to watch the shoot-out in the Finals of the World Cup. In that case the floor delayed the start of the late tournament to make up for the lost playing time in the early event.
