According to Twitter, there were some Hot Wheels tracks that needed to be built.

The line for the the $565 Pot-Limit Omaha is almost going out the door of the Amazon room as more players are waiting for their shot (or second, or third) to work up a big stack early here on Day 1b.
Andy Philachack just flopped quads and eliminated a player. His hand was .
"I never fold six-nine," said Philachack. "Especially at table sixty-nine."
Phiachack is indeed sitting at Table #69 in the gold section of the Amazon room. He has quadrupled his stack so far in the first four levels of the $565 Pot-Limit Omaha.
More players are showing up and reentering, here is a list of some of their counts. Defending Champion Ryan Laplante has a little more than starting stack as the first break approaches.
The early levels of this pot-limit Omaha tournament are much like musical chairs as tables are emptied quickly and refilled just as quickly.
Noah Bronstein was ready to join the rail and possibly rebuy but caught an ace on the river to double through Natasha Mercier.
The two got all in preflop with Bronstein holding against the of Mercier.
Mercier flopped a full house on the flop, the turn was a blank and the river was an giving Bronstein the last second win. Mercier was left with just over 1,000.
There are notable players and recognizable faces throughout the field, and sometimes a bunch of them end up at the same table.
Adam Owen, Naoya Kihara, David Williams, and two-time WSOP bracelet winner Howard "Tahoe" Andrew are all at the same table.
And the reward for best table change so far goes to three-time WSOP bracelet winner Rep Porter who spent about two minutes at his first table and then moved to the right of five-time WSOP bracelet winner Jason Mercier.
