Technical Difficulties

[user65508]

The H.O.R.S.E event is now taking place in the designated section adjacent to our event. The clocks facing the H.O.R.S.E event have all been turned over to that event's info and players in the $1,500 NL Hold'em event have been complaining to the floorstaff that they have no clock or other information.

They've begun busting the tables here in the Orange section, but for some reason they've started in the back of the section rather than up front next to H.O.R.S.E, where the televisions have all been changed.

They've already cleared nine tables, though, so it shouldn't be much longer for players without clocks to get moved to a section in which they can see again.

Times Are a Changin'
