Many Empty Tables

Today's event is taking place within only two of the four sections of the Amazon room: the Blue and Orange sections. The Orange section seems to have an anomaly, as 13 tables remain completely barren with only 24 minutes left in the first level.

We're being told that it is because there are 150 players still registering for this event, yet thus far none have been seated. In an event where players are attempting to gobble up as many chips as they can, it would seem that these players need be seated as soon as possible.

With less than an hour and a half before the rebuy period is over, we'll have to wait and see how these players adjust to their late entry.
