Shuffle Up & Finally Deal
Indeed, a few players arrived rather late to this tournament as, basically, no-one had any idea when it was going to start. A lot of players arrived for the 3pm start time only to find themselves with nothing to do for almost two hours while Erik Seidel played a million dollar freeroll, and then owing to the vagueness of the few announcements that were made, wandered off and didn't get here for the very start.
Nevertheless it looks as though all the players have now taken their seats with varying amounts of grumbling, and cards are in the air. We are in for a very, very long night, and actually we wouldn't be surprised if this becomes a four day event in the course of time. If Erik Seidel makes it through to the final table, we could well see further scheduling problems tomorrow.
