"Oops...I'm Over There"

Alex Jacob - Event #5
Alex Jacob - Event #5
It was about five minutes into the tournament when young gun Alex Jacob wandered into the tournament area and sat down in the Amazon Room. Jacob pulled up a chair at table blue #1 - seat#1 and play continued as normal. About ten minutes later, another gentleman strolled in, looked around curiously for his seat, then strolled up behind Jacob and said "I think you're in my seat." He showed Jacob his registration card and Jacob double checked his own. "Oops...I'm over there," said an embarrassed Jacob, pointing to adjacent table #6. A floor was called to resolve the issue. The floorman asked, "Did you play a hand?" Jacob responded, "I stole the blinds once." The floorman had Jacob pick up his chips and head for his assigned seat. The rightful owner of table #1 - seat #1 sat down, and play continued.
