Alex Ivan pulled an interesting move last night, leaving his +400,000 stack all alone for more than an hour at the end of the night in Level 13. He put his player’s card on top of the stack and let tournament supervisors know they’d have to bag him up.

He still finished with 399,000 for the return today but there’s one problem. Ivan still hasn’t returned to unbag and play those chips with one level almost gone. Staff pulled out enough chips to get through the blinds and antes but they might have to dive back in for more.
