Wrong Seat, Baby

The start of this event was not without a minor mishap. Scotty Nguyen apparently started his day sitting in the wrong seat. When the rightful owner of the seat showed up, there was an issue with him taking the stack over. It seems that since he (the rightful owner of the seat) was a late registration, he should not have been blinded off in the hands in the hands he missed. However his stack (commanded by Nguyen at the time) was indeed blinded off as Scotty played the hands. Complex as it is, the issue has apparently been resolved and all is well in the land of 2-7.
