There's Always One

Before every session, Tournament Director Jack Effel reminds players that they should NOT take their chips off the table when they go to dinner. Seems pretty obvious, right? I mean, who would actually do that?

Well, as we were leaving for dinner a player nearly did exactly that. It was the last hand, he tossed his cards in the muck, grabbed up his meager stack of chips, and was rising from his seat when the dealer stopped him with a stern, "Leave your chips ON THE TABLE." So not everyone pays as close of attention as they should.
