    I am a little confused over the seat draw for day 1 of the main event???
    Was it meant to be a random draw and if so how did 6 players that won their ticket in the sat the night before end up on the same table??????:confused:

    Because lots of players won their ticket the night before.
    Also, you don't understand randomness

    Random:
    1. Having no specific pattern, purpose, or objective
    2. Mathematics & Statistics Of or relating to a type of circumstance or event that is described by a probability distribution.
    3. Of or relating to an event in which all outcomes are equally likely, as in the testing of a blood sample for the presence of a substance.

    6 out of 40 is 15% of the tickets from the sat. on the one table!!!!!!
    so then the question is how many tables were open at the time and then this can show just how random it was.............

    Would you think it unusual if the winning lotto numbers were 1 2 3 4 5 6?

    If you answer is yes, then please return to post #2, line 2.

    you seem to have missed this part of the question

    Just because something it unlikely, does not mean it is impossible.
    Maybe they just happened to fall like that. Or maybe they need to had some of the table drw sorted already for ease of running, and they were only shuffled in with a half the field.

    Either way what difference does it make?
