Havens Leaves Elet with a Chip and a Chair
Level 30
: 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Paul Havens raised to 250,000 and it folded around to David Elet in the big blind who moved all in. Havens made the call and thought that he had Elet covered.

The board ran and as Havens was collecting the pot, the floor had already been called for Elet to collect his payout slip. Elet was walked to the cage before it was realized that he still had 15,000 in chips and was called back to the table by the floor, with a watching player yelling "chip and a chair!"
Four players have since been eliminated giving Elet a decent chip and a chair story, as he moved up the money counts and is still alive.
