From Pokernews:

Currently there is a player walking round the blue section of the Amazon room.

So? You may be thinking at home while following our coverage. Well the reason it is so blog worthy is the fact that he can't remember where he is seated.
"I think I'm near Phil [Ivey]?" stated the confused player.
"I know I'm in the six seat too" he added.
"Are you sure it was a six seat?" asked the Tournament Director.
The player nodded in accordance before the Tournament Director continued, "Positive?"
"Definitely in the Amazon?" the Tournament Director continued.
"I have like 20,000" the player added.
The Tournament Director and the player in the question kept wondering around the blue section only finding one seat empty; the one seat.

Asking the players on the table who was seated there, they said a guy with a hat.
The lost player wasn't wearing one, but after looking at the table and the players seated his facial expressions grew even more puzzled before he reached under the chair that was placed in seat one and grabbed a black hat.

"Here it is!" he excitedly stated.

Unfortunately for the lost player - or as we discovered Stanley Quinn - he is a little confused at the difference between the one and six seats, as well as his proximity to Mr. Phil Ivey (since he is on the opposite end of the blue section to him).

wow
that is mental

I am such a obsesive complusive nit about where I am sitting when I play live it is crazy... from once I enter the room I immediately start saying my table number over and over in my head... and I also do this when I get up and leave for the break so the number is in my head...

I also used count my chips three or four times in the last orbit so I have an exact count...

during dinner break in the WSOP I saw a fella do something genius... he took a photo of his stack from three positions to make sure it was not harrassed in his abscence... or make sure he would know if it had at least...

I am gonna be doing that from now on
