Some Curiousness on the Floor
Players are still registering for this event, and as there is a rule that states that late registrants can't sit down until the start of the next level, the 7pm starters should not have been allowed to take their seats until after the break.
Nevertheless at one table in the about-to-be-opened section, two players sat down and the dealer started to deal. Their first hand was a simple raise-and-fold affair, but on the second hand, around 2,000 chips had found their way into the middle before the floor realised what was going on. It was ruled that they could play the hand out and keep any chips they won (or, for the other guy, swallow any loss he incurred) but that the blinds that had been taken off the other players' stacks should be returned. It wasn't clear whether the blinds were going to come out of the stack of the winner of tht second hand or from somewhere else.
