Majority Doesn't Rule

However, although the table, when asked, all voted in favour of allowing play to continue, David Singer rebelled and demanded that they stopped for lunch.
The tournament director declared that the majority rules, but Singer was having none of it, claiming that it wasn't the rule. As a result, a higher up authority was reeled towards the table, who subsequently echoed the sentiments of his colleague.
Singer, meanwhile, remained adamant that play be stopped, stating that the rule claims that if one player objects, then the scheduled break must take place.
Eventually, the other players slowly came round, one by one, saying that if David wanted the lunch break so much, they would oblige, and that's exactly what happened.
So, after all that, we are indeed taking the scheduled lunch break, with play due to recommence in just under and hour.
Singer, incidentally, returns as the small stack.
