Overflow

[user75032]

Today one-quarter of the main tournament ballroom is curtained off as the television production staff begins to build the "tv table" set. A side product is that there is less space in the room for poker tables.

Rather than send players off to the poker room again -- which created some mild controversy yesterday for a number of reasons -- today the tournament staff managed to procure space in an overflow ballroom next to the main tournament room. Fifteen tables are set up in that room.

Allen Kessler, who yesterday was one of the lead critics of several problems with the tables in the poker room, is at a table in the overflow room with (among others) Gavin Griffin and Phil Ivey. We can only imagine what Kessler might have said if he'd been sent off to the poker room again this morning.
