That'll Teach Minieri to Be Late
This situation was made more difficult as the original player in the seat had lost a few chips and was going to have to leave them in their new home stacks and take his own remaining chips off the table... that's what happens when you're late. Someone takes your seat, chips up your table and then vanishes.
Also at this table - Allen Kessler and Sebastian Ruthenberg (winner of EPT Barcelona and consistent casher in pretty much anything Europe has to offer). Should be a fun one to watch.
