Table Breaking Order

The tables here at the Empire are numbered from one - ten in the Poker Room, and 11 - 14 upstairs. Since mid-afternoon on Day 1 of the HORSE event, when they realised it was too hot downstairs, the upstairs area has been the core tournament area. Spectators are usually 2-3 deep on the rail and there is a great atmposphere around the tables. Yesterday, the tournament started with 4 tables upstairs, the feature TV table and 2 tables downstairs in the Poker Room. The 2 tables in the Poker Room were broken first and the tournament played out upstairs.
Today, however there has been a change of plan and table 14 has been broken first upstairs. It is a somewhat interesting decision, given that the Poker Room downstairs is quite rowdy (and cramped) with many cash game tables going on around the tournament. On a positive note, the move has cleared the upstairs area completely of spectators, and now looks quite empty.
