Great Atmosphere in the Room as Play Resumes

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

Now that the players are back from break, the last few tables in the Purple and Gold sections have been broken and play continues in the Tan and Orange.

Each time we have returned from break, at least one of the players has lost their seat. The floor calls out asking if anyone recognizes the player and a silence falls over the crowd until someone pipes up with their location.

As soon as their seat is found, the whole room starts a clap, maybe easing a bit of the embarrassment the player feels — something you likely wouldn't witness in any other event anywhere else in the world.
