Back-to-Back Sets for Riess; Clock Malfunction Hurts Danzer

[user101598]

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

A few minutes ago, the following tweet from the reigning WSOP Main Event champion popped up on our feed:

Ryan Riess @RyanRiess1

We played 150/300 blinds for the first 20 minutes instead of 50/100. George Danzer loses half of his stack during those 20 minutes #brutalJune 14, 2014

We promptly went to investigate the situation, and when we arrived, Ryan Riess was involved in a pot with Martin Finger and Bill Klein. Riess had let out for 6,400 on a board of , Klein called, and Finger was in the tank. He eventually folded, and Riess revealed for a full house.

Klein flashed the for trip jacks, then mucked.

"That's my second flopped set in a row," Riess told us, grinning.

He then filled us in on the details of his tweet, saying that the tournament clock situated right in front of the table said "Small Blind: 150 Big Blind 300" instead of the current level (50/100) for "twenty minutes."

"Poor George [Danzer] was coolered in four hands," the defending champ said. "I would've gone busto."

Danzer, who won a bracelet in Event #18, offered a simple, wry smile.

Riess is up to 47,000 chips, while Danzer and Klein are both floating around 15,000.

Seat's Taken

[user101598]

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Sorel Mizzi came strolling into the Orange Section of the Amazon Room, ready to take his seat in Event #32: $10,000 Six-Handed No-Limit Hold'em Championship, but there was a problem - his seat was occupied.

Mizzi double-checked his ticket to make sure he was in the right place - Table 382 Seat 3 - then asked the current occupant, Ryan Fee, to check his own.

Fee's read Table 383 Seat 2.

"Floor!" Fee called. "I sat at the wrong table!"

Not only was he at the wrong table, he was supposed to be at the neighboring Table 383, Fee was in the wrong seat entirely. He was supposed to be in Seat 2, not Seat 3.

The floor came over and ruled that Fee would simply be moved to the correct seat, and Mizzi would take his place. The two made the switch, and all is as it should be.
