Between Josef Monro (147k), Shannon Shorr (135k), and Stefan Huber (145k), there are a lot of chips on Table 36, meaning there is potential there for some explosive chip-lead-changing pots. And fortunately for us (and you), the table is directly in front of the bloggers table in Pavilion.

Tables over on the left side of the Pavilion are breaking fast with players being sent to the Amazon and to the other side of the room.
In a rare occurrence, a table in the Amazon was recently moved to the Pavilion. Among the players moved was Jonathan Aguiar, who isn't happy about the decision. As the players were escorted to their new table, Aguiar was venting his frustrations to the floorman, who said he didn't want to argue.
"I don't wanna argue with you," Aguiar responded, "I wanna argue with [tournament director] Jack [Effel]." The players have been searching for a reason why they were moved but so far all the tournament staff have been able to tell them is that they'll check into it. They'd better do it fast because the table is slated to be broken soon (which wouldn't have happened had they stayed in the Amazon Room).
