Marcus and Racener Lose Action
There was some controversy to kick off the day over at Van Marcus and John Racener\\\'s table. The was a player in seat eight who was all in on both the first and second hand of play. The player was really spicing up the action and looked to be just the type of players the sharks will eat up.
On the second hand, the player got involved in a multi-way pot and open-shoved the flop after having flopped a straight. Immediately after the hand, the tournament staff began stacking the chips for the player and then moved him to an adjacent table. The player was seated right next to Marcus and the table argued that it was Marcus who was supposed to move because he was to be the big blind on the next hand. The tournament staff responded by saying that it wasn\\\\\\\'t moving the player to balance the tables, but rather the player sat in the wrong starting seat.
The table argued that the player had to stay and it wasn\\\\\\\'t right that he was allowed to take chips off other players seated in the wrong seat, provide plenty of early action and then get moved to another table. Marcus was very adamant and against this, but the tournament staff went with their decision and moved the player anyway.
