I played in the $330 tourney today at Wynn and got seated at table 22 which is where the final table is for my first table. The players sit down and we are dealt the first couple of hands. The table is right next to the rail and one of the players wives is watching him play. She calls him over about 2 hands into the tourney and he comes back all frantic.

He tells the dealer that his wifes water just broke and she needs to go to a hospital. He then starts thinking that he just bought into this tourney that just began and doesn't want to leave. He actually thinks about wether to go to the hospital or stay in the tourney.

The Wynn staff was kind enough to refund his money and put an alternate at the table, but still, kinda interesting story.
