What That Delay Was About

Nobody is entirely sure exactly what happened, but this is what we know:
- Jesus Cortes Lizano came back from the break and immediately announced that he had too many chips. Not too few - too many. He was meant to have around 900,000, but actually had around 1.3 million. He is our new hero in the press room.
- It was then found that Shander de Vries had too few chips.
- Candido Goncalves was briefly roped into the debate when someone suggested that he might have too many chips as well. But after reconstructing all the pre-break action, it was decided that he was OK after all.
- A long intermission followed, during which time TD Thomas Kremser heard the testimonies of de Vries, Lizano, the rest of the table and various dealers and media. There was at no point any suggestion that there had been any sneakiness going on; rather it seems that while the stacks were being moved around in the redraw, some chips accidentally ended up in the wrong stacks.
- It was eventually decided to give Lizano's extra chips to de Vries and everyone was happy.
That all make sense? Good. Let's play poker.
