Players, Tables & SeatingHow-to
Move, swap, or unseat a player
Reseat one player, swap two, or pull someone from the table.
Beyond balancing, you sometimes need to adjust seating by hand. Three quick actions cover it.
- •Move — send one player to a specific open seat (accommodations, breaking up a spat, a requested seat change).
- •Swap — exchange two seated players in one step, no open seat required.
- •Unseat — pull a player out of their seat without eliminating them (stepped away, dispute, correction). Their stack is preserved.
1
Tap the player
In Tables, tap the seated player to open their seat actions.
2
Pick the action
Choose Move, Swap, or Unseat and confirm the target seat or the second player.
Unseating is not elimination. To bust a player, use Eliminate from the player panel — that’s what records their finish and updates the prize pool.
