Prepared for Ten-Player Tables, but Playing With Nine

Today's tables were prepared with ten chip stacks, but only nine players have been seated at each. About half an hour after play began, one of the tournament officials announced to the dealers, "Put the [seat] ten stacks in the well. Do not put the seat cards out."

Harrah's was apparently ready for more players, just in case. I think most players would rather play ten-handed than be seated in the poker tent.
