In more amusing news, there had to be a semi-table redraw when all FIVE Betsson players, including
Johnny Lodden,
Henning Granstad, and Gunner Osterbrod (pictured below - and who Maria really really really really really does not fancy. Honest) all got put on the same starting table. So three of them got moved. Anyone remember a situation like this happening before?
Why would this re-draw happen? Is it because 5 people from the same stable can't be trusted not to collude? Or because Betsson have some sort of right to seeding to keep some of their players apart in the early stages?
This happened to us Ladbrokes players in London EPT, we had 5 entrants, 3 on one table and 2 on another...it's nothing to do with collusion, but the simple fact the draw can't be random when u all get sat together, they must be filling tables as and when people buy in.
Same happened first time I played a tourney in the Bellagio, three of us excitedly entered together, looking forward to the new experience of the best cardroom in the world, we ended up sat in a line on the same table like we were playing a home game back in blighty, bah
