Gray Seeing Red

We mentioned earlier that the quarters are extremely tight in the tournament room. Tables are packed into every inch of usable space in order to accommodate this big field, and with even more runners planned for tomorrow's Day 1b, we wonder where they intend to put them all.
Over on Table 19, Jason Gray is not happy. His chair is physically touching the chair of the player seated behind him at the adjacent table. With several dozen members of the media wandering around, including at least one full camera crew, Gray has been bumped, nudged, asked to slide in, and just generally interrupted more often than he can handle.
We noticed a floor person trying to calm Gray down, but he was not having any of it. "This is just ridiculous. I paid ￡5,000 just to be asked to move every two minutes." The floor man was listening and trying to ease Gray's argument, so Gray stood up. "Here, you sit down. See if you can play."
From the table next door, fellow Aussie David Steicke was noticing the commotion. "You've got the chip lead, Jason," he piped up. "Can't be too bad."
Indeed, Gray does have about 60,000 chips, but that seems little consolation to him at the moment.
