The Lone Star Table
It is unusual, however, to see three players from the same city seated next to each other on the same table. Thomas Vinas, Dennis Marcon, and Gary Friedlander all hail from Houston Texas, and are seated together on Table 70.
I guess that's why they call this game "Texas" Hold'em.

Weren't the Black (100) Chips Colored Up Earlier Today?
At Table #44, one of the players bought up the 500 chips, and then it was discovered that one of the chips was actually a black *100* chip. A floorperson, following procedure, removed the black chip from play.
The player was understandably upset, as he feels that he lost 1,000 in tournament chips. "I tried to do the right thing here, and I got screwed." He's been complaining loudly, but at this point, we're not sure if he'll ever be satisfied.
