Assouline Takes 3-Hour Dinner Break

We stopped by David Assouline's table a few times during the last level, and each time he was not there. Perhaps there had been some kind of emergency, we supposed. Perhaps he'd eaten a bad salad from the Poker Kitchen and was indisposed.

But no! Assouline just now reappeared at his table, to cries of, "Where were you?" from his tablemates. It turned out that Assouline had thought that the color-up break was in fact the dinner break. When he returned to his table after his imaginary dinner break, it was to discover that everyone else had gone on the real dinner break.

Not to worry, though. Assouline was one of our chip leaders when he disappeared, and his stack remains over 300,000 despite blinding off for a whole hour.
