Earlier we wrote about logistical issues. We discovered another such issue chatting with Matt Savage on the last break. He said he was in the Pavilion Room at a table in the Yellow Section.
Say what? There are tables in the Yellow Section?
We thought the overflow tables were limited to the White Section. Not so much. Turns out there are an additional 20-odd tables in the Yellow Section, many of them filled with pros who registered late. We're updating the chip counts page to include them, but a sample includes Liv Boeree, Howard Lederer, John Juanda, and Amnon Filippi.
