Woodward Opens Wrong Bag

Matt Woodward came running a tad late to the start of the tournament and without I.D. He talked with the tournament staff and they verified that he was good to play and went over to his seat, which was at Table 1, in Seat 8. But, Woodward sat down in Seat 7 at his table and the dealer gave him his chip bag. Without looking, Woodward opened the bag, which actually belonged to Michael Woods who wasn't here yet, and emptied the chips.

He posted his ante and then the big blind before action began on the first hand. A player raised and action folded around the table to Woodward. He folded his hand as well and then Woods came over and said that Woodward was in his seat. The floor staff was called and Woodward was bumped over one seat where his bag was. He emptied his chips and began to stack them.

Woods wanted the staff to pull his bag out of the garbage and verify his chip count, minus the ante and big blind that he had posted. They did so and everything was squared away.

Interestingly enough, Woodward gets to have his big blind attacked two hands in a row now.
