Going along with the Two Players, One Seat post a little while ago, there was another incident involving seating assignments over on Jeffrey Lisandro's table.
Chris Bjorin just ran his pocket nines into pocket kings to bust from the table, leaving them eight handed. A minute or so after Bjorin made his exit to the rail, the floor staff came over with a new player to be added to the table. Lisandro and a few others at the table didn't take too much of a liking to this, stating that because it's a shootout format, a new player shouldn't be added to the table. According the the new player, he was seated at another table for the first part of this event until someone came over and had the same seat as him. The player was then moved to Lisandro's table. The argument failed to work and the player sat down and was given a brand new stack of chips before play resumed.

"It's a match!" Bellande shouted when he held his receipt next to Bloch's.
Indeed the computer had printed the same seat for both of them. The table began joking about the situation, saying that the two should switch every orbit.
"No, no, no," Darryll "DFish" Fish argued. "Two rounds for Bobby, one for Andy."
