"A Little Noise Would Be Nice"

It's possible that the audience here is just as tired as the players and media. After the last hand in which Aaron Coulthard won the pot with an all in raise, the tournament director calling the action said "a little noise would be nice." The tired gallery humored him with some weak applause that could only be described as unenthusiastic.
