Allen Who?

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

Allen Kessler was a last minute registrant but there was some confusion to what he did with his dealer card. The table he had been assigned to must have broken when he got there. He claimed to have handed the proof of payment and an I.D. to that dealer who in turn gave him his new seat assignment. When he got to his new seat, however, people insisted he show both his proof of payment and his I.D. to get chips, despite having already received a new seat card. The problem was the dealer had taken the proof of payment, as they always do, when checking I.D.'s.

A floor person was sent over to settle the mess before it got more heated and Kessler is currently playing without any more problems.
