Late Registration Woes
When you register on time for a tournament, you're subject to the luck of the table draw. Sometimes you wind up with an easier table, and sometimes you wind up with a tougher table. When you register late, you're almost always guaranteed to be at a table of pros. Blue 282 is the prefect example. David Bach, Toto Leonidas, Michael Binger, Max Pescatori and Tom Dwan are all clustered around it, right on the rail in perfect view of the spectators. The lone bright spot for the players at the table is that they'll be among the first players to be roken to new seats -- asusuming they survive that long.
