Nishijima Uses One Time to Unregister From Four-Max
The tournament supervisor came up to Thiago Nishijima's table to talk to him. Apparently Nishijima was registered in the four-max tournament over in Brasilia. They had been blinding him off over there and they were about to pick up his chips. Nishijima realizing the fact that it would be virtually impossible to run back and forth from both tournaments, especially a four-max tournament, asked the supervisor if he can get a refund from the four max event.
The Supervisor informed Nishijima that he could unregister from the four-max but he could only do it one time this series. Nishijima obliged and his $2500 from the four-max will be sitting in the cage for him to pick up whenever he chooses.
Gavin Smith also at the table not quite sure why Nishijima registered early for the four-max gave Nishijima a needle by saying, "So you don't expect to win a lot?"
Smith was referring to the fact that Nishijima was probably expecting to lose from yesterday's Day 1 of this event. Smith also made the point to Nishijima,"You know you can register the day of the tournament." This got a laugh out of Nishijima.
Nishijima doing fine in this event won't be registering in anything else for the day as he plans on taking this title down.
