Chip Count Updates

[user38971]

We want to apologize to all the viewers of today's event. After a mixup this morning, players and their player-id cards became jumbled and we were unable to track all the players as thoroughly as we had planned.

We have now corrected everything and within just a matter of minutes the chip counts should be completely accurate. We apologize for the confusion and for the lack of posts over the last few minutes of this round as we attempt to correct everything.
