To Dinner Break or Not

Level 15 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

The tournament director came over to the feature table to talk about the dinner break as none has been scheduled originally. Most players wanted to continue playing without a dinner break. Michael Addamo would like to have a dinner break though. Shan Huang didn't mind either way. The TD wanted to offer a compromise of a 30-minute dinner break but everyone was against that.

In the end, they decided to vote on it once they come near the end of the current level.
