Break Time Brouhaha

There was a slight hub-bub during the break. It seems that, after the T500 chips were raced off, one of the players noticed that the tournament clock listed the next scheduled level as having 2,500 and 5,000 blinds. Of course, that level is impossible to do with no T500 chips on the table. The floor supervisors consulted the published structure sheet, which calls for the next level to be 3,000 and 6,000.

The players, upon learning that fact, were unhappy that there was no 2,500 and 5,000 level and sought a compromise level of 3,000 and 5,000. In the end the published structure was adhered to and we are, in fact, now playing with 3,000 and 6,000 blinds.
