Amnon-gate Resolved Peacefully
Amnon Filippi can go back to focusing on the felt now. Harrah's was able to pinpoint the cause of the registration mistake and solve the problem. Turns out that Filippi was in line at the cage yesterday behind a French player, Steven Aaron. Aaron used cash to buy into today's $1,500 no limit tournament, Event #5, and left the area. Filippi then came up to the window and had out everything he needed so he could register efficiently and speed off to the $1,500 O 8/b without missing any more time than necessary. He quickly handed the cashier his player's card and tournament chips, and apparently she hit auto-register, accidentally using Filippi's tournament chips to register Steven Aaron for this event as well as the no limit event. Harrah's was able to swich Filippi's player's card number with Aaron's and correct the mistake in registration. No harm, no foul. And back to the poker.
