There's been some confusion about seat locations in today's event. Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi went to his seat...and found someone already sitting there. His correct spot was finally located but he couldn't be that thrilled about it, as he's sitting between Doug Lee and C.K. Hua. Other players have also had trouble finding their correct assigned seat.
