There is a slight snafu in the table breaking, as the floor staff breaks a table one elimination early. As a result, Howard Lederer is left without a seat.
At first, Lederer simply remains in his seat, apparently waiting for someone to bust so he can fill the empty chair. It only takes a minute or two for the floor staff to decide this is not an ideal solution.
They elect instead to add a tenth chair to Table 5 and seat Lederer there. Many of the players at the table object to the decision, but Lederer is staying put until someone busts and the tables can be balanced correctly.
