There appears to be some confusion over the size of the small blind, which is currently incorrectly displayed on the tournament clock as 80,000. According to the structure sheet it should be 75,000.
We believe the first hand or two was played at 80,000 with John Hanson overheard complaining about losing 5,000 of his 5.5 million chips due to the error.
