Negreanu even added something along the lines of, "He's complaining about something that's good for us!"
Currently, Mike is pleading his case with Tournament Director Jack Effel, who's doing his best to defend the configuration of the tournament, which he likely had the heaviest hand in designing.

Howard Lederer declined to comment.
"You've gone from the penthouse to the outhouse all in a day!" continued Hansen, undaunted.
