"I Don't Wanna Be That Guy"

A tournament floor staff walked by to update the tournament clock with the correct number of players remaining. As he was doing so, the table directly behind him asked for a total of chips in play as well as a prizepool total.

"I could give you a number, but it wouldn't be accurate," the floor staff claimed. "It'd be a lie, and I don't want to be that guy."

We are all anxiously awaiting the information for today's tournament and as soon as we are given any information we will post it immediately.
