During break, a lot of players could be seen huddled around the television monitors to watch the game. At one of the screens sat Scott Clements, Huckleberry Seed, Mel Judah, and Steve Zolotow among others. All was good until a technician came over and abruptly switched the channel to a tournament clock.

"Well that's just wrong!" announced one of the players.

Another player yelled out, "The ultimate bad beat!" before they headed back to their seats.
