As soon as the break was announced for this event, players immediately left their seats and made their way out of the Amazon room. After the bubble burst for this event, tournament staff had added additional time on to the clock, making these first two levels of play a very long two hours. Needless to say, players were anxious to get out and about.

However, it didn't take long for fans to spot Negreanu leaving the tournament area. Many of them disregarded the makeshift barriers dividing the spectators from the players, only to approach Negreanu with a bombardment of requests for photos and autographs.

Negreanu obliged and spent the first few minutes of this anticipated break shaking hands, posing, and signing autographs. When asked by one picture-taker if they could use a flash, he smiled and replied, "Sure, why not?"
