Grinder Extraordinaire Bill Chen was finally broken off of his very tough table to Alexander Kravchenko's table. Chen drew Seat 9 at the new table, a seat occupied by Kravchenko. Earlier in the day tables were ten-handed; now they're nine-handed. Kravchenko was willing to slide one seat to his right to give Chen position on him but Chen would have none of it.
"Alex, Alex," he said. "Let's just get it right. Call the floor." TD Thomas Kremser was summoned to the table and quickly ruled that Chen's seat card should be Seat 8. Chen took his seat to Kravchenko's right and play resumed.
