Schulman:

Despite the encounter on the felt, there are no hard feelings in an event of this caliber. The clock was just running out on the level as the hand played out, and the field was sent on their one-hour dinner break.

Koon looked at Schulman. “Sushi?”

“Sure, let’s go.”

Koon has until the end of the dinner break to re-enter, should he so choose.

Peters:
Iadisernia:

Iadisernia had a chance but missed as the board ran to send him to the rail.
