Earlier, we mentioned an orphaned stack at Scott Lazar's table, that belonged to someone named Bo D. Ho. Tournament Director Jack Effel just stopped by the table with an assistant to bag up Ho's chips and remove them from play.
What's the deal with that?
It turns out that some players pre-registered for the tournament, but never completed the registration process by showing up in person and showing your ID along with a few other things.
Bo D. Ho apparently never completed his registration, so his chips (whatever is left after 1 1/2 levels of blinds) are being removed from play.
