Fire Alarm Goes Off, Nobody Moves

Level 26 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

A screeching fire alarm sounded in the casino breaking the white noise of the banks of slot machines that surround the tournament area. Not a single player budged, the dealers didn't flinch and slots players didn't stop mashing buttons.

After a few moments the alarm was quieted, only to be interrupted by an even louder announcement over the PA that all was well. We're pretty sure the remaining players wouldn't have moved until flames were burning the carpet underneath them in there had been a fire.
