There Was a Rain Delay During The World Series Of Poker Main Event

PokerNews - It doesn’t rain in Las Vegas often – it averages just 9.15 inches annually, which is 30 inches less than the national average – but on Monday it came down in droves, so much so that it briefly interrupted the 2015 World Series of Poker. About 10 minutes before the dinner break on Day 1b of the $10,000 Main Event, play was halted after rain started to fall from the ceiling. Here’s what the WSOP had to say about the situation in their live blog: “With the heavy storm outside, water has leaked into a corner of the Brasilia Ballroom where playing tables were located. As a result, 23 tables are being relocated after dinner to the Amazon Room. “If you’re seated in Brasilia at tables 1-19, 24, 31, 38, or 39, your table will be in Amazon after dinner. These rerouted tables are located near the center of the room where the orange and purple sections meet on the left hand side of room once you enter. All other tables are unaffected and players should return to the seat they were in immediately preceding the dinner break.”

Just your everyday rain delay at the WSOP. Rains like twice a year there, and oops, floods everywhere smack dab in the middle of the Main Event. But I guess it could be worse:

Every poker player’s nightmare. Get it all in preflop with aces vs kings and lose. Main Event dreams are shattered. Nothing more brutal.

Ok, I guess one thing is more brutal…especially when it’s in a $1,000,,000 buy in tournament:
