With just three players remaining, Mike Rocco proposed that at the end of Level 19, the players take an unscheduled ten-minute break. Levon Torosyan agreed, but Al Barbieri did not.

"We're just three-handed," said Rocco. "Where do we have to be? Where are we going?"

"I'd prefer to stay on the scheduled structure," said Barbieri.

"I gotta take a piss," continued Rocco.

"You can go use the bathroom," Barbieri responded.

The two went back and forth for a few more minutes, with Levon Torosyan sitting on the sideline, willing to agree to whatever they could work out. In the end, it was agreed by all three players to take a five-minute break at the end of the level. Barbieri asked the floor to set the timer to exactly five minutes and to put cards back in the air when the clock expires.
