Do Not Be Alarmed

A quiet announcement was recently made over the speaker system early here on Day 1a of the ANZPT Auckland Main Event. Everyone in the casino was told they would be testing the fire alarms... and test them they did.

Players probably forgot about the announcement immediately and went back to ruffling chips and mucking hands. Then everyone got the fright of a lifetime as a booming squeal echoed through the room.

That's about as exciting as it gets on a Day 1 flight of a poker tournament.
