Announcement on Balancing of Tables

[user42991]

At present we are at 11 players. Six players are on one table and five are on the other. In the interest of fairness, the floor staff has announced that if we haven't lost a player in 20 minutes that they will move the big blind to the short handed table. This will continue every 20 minutes until we lose a player.

Chances are, with three stacks having five big bets or less, this will not occur more than once or twice.

Level: 20

Blinds: 10,000/20,000

Ante: 0
