Tournament staff has now delayed the start of the next round until 8:30 as their has been an issue with the re-draws. Players have been told to give staff twenty minutes to sort everything out and have been given a break until then.
After a few players voiced their displeasure with the randomly generated table draw initially distributed, the WSOP tournament staff has decided to use the old fashioned method of drawing names from a hat.
Players will be allowed to witness the drawing to allay any further fears, and after a brief delay we expect to get the cards back in the air shortly.

We just watched Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi flip a coin for his initial starting stack, with his 
matching up against the 
of his opponent.
The board rolled out 
and Mizrachi lost this race, but with the multiple bullet structure of this heads-up event, he still has chips to play with.
We caught up with the action on a board of 
spread on the felt. Matt Marafioti fired 800 into the middle and Ludovic Lacay called to see the final card.
The river brought the 
and Marafioti fired 1,900. Lacay dipped into his stack and came out with a raise to 5,400 total and Marafioti went into the tank. About forty-five seconds later, Marafioti announced a call but mucked his cards after Lacay showed 
for a rivered two pair.
Lacay has now taken a slight lead in the match though neither player has dipped into their add-on's quite yet.
Level: 2b
Blinds: 300/600
