Message: [QUOTE="OzExorcist, post: 1521384, member: 23910"] While this is true, you've got to be aware that there's huge potential for angle shooting in something like this if it's abused. I gather they all left at once, did what they needed to and then came back to the table and the effect on the tournament was minimal. But imagine if they all did the same thing on or approaching the bubble, and instead of coming straight back they were gone for half an hour or more. Suddenly there's an entire table of players who aren't losing any chips, aren't getting blinded down and aren't getting knocked out. Meanwhile, all the other tables are still playing, risking elimination and knocking people out. The players who left their table en masse could give themselves a free ride to the money bubble or even past it if hand for hand wasn't being used. The way the story in the OP it doesn't sound like this was done as an angle shoot, but it very easily could have turned out that way. [/QUOTE]
