Chip Controversies Continue

[user42991]

A new table was formed just before the break including Amnon Filippi, Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, and Andy Black. Apparantly, Filippi registered before the beginning of the tournament, but did not arrive until just before the break. Black and Ferguson both registered late.

Ferguson and Black stated that since Filippi did not register late that he was not entitled to a full stack. The rules state that a player who registers late is entitled to a full stack, but one who registers as normal must be blinded out.

When play started on the table, the button started to the right of Filippi and he was in the small blind. Filippi was arguing that he could not receive a hand in the small blind and therefore should not have to give up any blinds.

A discussion was held between several floors and it was decided that 75 in chips would be taken out of Filippi's stack and put in 25 at a time in the next three pots.
