Main Event Practice in the Brasilia Room

Tournament supervisors in the Brasilia room were simultaneously trying to set up a mega satellite, restart the $1,500 H.O.R.S.E. event, break the tables in the $1,500 event and check in about 30 dealers for the mega.

With just eight tables in this event left in Brasilia room, there was about a 2:1 player-to-dealer ratio.

One floor supervisor, slightly frustrated, put index finger and thumb to his head saying, under his breath, "What a disaster."

Fifteen minutes later — after asking the H.O.R.S.E. players to hold up — "disaster" was apparently averted.
