There was some unrest at the tables after players were informed that the structure for No-Limit Hold'em was 3,000/6,000 with a 3,000 ante. It was clearly a typo in the structure sheet as level 22 has antes at 2,000. Antes for this level should be 1,500, which is how they will play from here on out.
There was some debate over what to do with players at Table 336 who have already played five hands with the ridiculously high ante. Tournament organizers decided against making Table 331 do the same thing as well as against giving players at Table 336 a refund on the antes they paid.
