Event 1: Dinner Break
$400 + $50 Deep Stack NLH (Re-Entry)
At the end of the level, the 62 remaining players were rewarded with a one hour dinner break. Play will resume at about 8pm.

While the players are gone, their chips are still on the tables so dealers continue to push through their rotation, even though the cards are still and the chips are silent. Claude is one of those dealers just pushing in to a table, minus the players.
