4K Mix-up

Dinner breaks at the World Series of Poker can be a very hectic adventure. With a small amount of time to cram in a full meal while also traveling the great lengths of the Rio, it's no surprise some players don't make it back right on time. However, it is a surprise when some players return and find that not only has their table been broken up already, but their chips are also missing.

Two players returned back late from the dinner break during tonight's event to find their tables were no more. Upon tracking down floor staff and trying to determine exactly what happened to their chips, each of the players was directed to the right spot. Or so they thought. It didn't take long for Harrah's staff to quickly remedy the situation, however one player noticed that his chip stack was not what he remembered it to be. By four thousand chips.

Harrah's excellent tournament staff listened to the player's situation and went to surveillance to determine what exactly had happened. Sure enough, the player's count was accurate as the player who had been sitting in his seat had managed to lose four thousand during a hand upon returning. Harrah's tournament staff removed four thousand chips from that player's remaining chips and returned them to their rightful owner.

Note to players: the sky may be watching, but try to be on time.
