Synchronized Breaks at Absolute Poker and UltimateBet

The newest feature at Absolute Poker and UltimateBet could mark the end of sitting crossed legged, or missing the pizza delivery guy; Synchronized Breaks may change our poker experience.
We've all been in the situation, that you're playing a couple of poker tournaments at the same time, you're desperate for the bathroom, to get a drink, or whatever else, but just as one of your tournaments goes on a break, the other one starts up again. It's looking like this may soon be a problem of the past however as CEREUS casinos Absolute Poker and UltimateBet introduce their new Synchronized Breaks feature.
The Synchronized Breaks feature pretty much does what it says on the box. Instead of each tournament having its breaks independently they will all break at the same time, giving you the opportunity to grab that drink or take that whizz. The advantages for us, the players, are clear, but the CEREUS network considers it to be a win for them too as they believe that it will now be easier for players to play multiple tournaments at either Absolute Poker or UltimateBet, and if it's easier to do it, people will.
The Synchronised Breaks feature will not apply to all tournaments running at Absolute Poker and UltimateBet; however tournaments that do have the feature will be clearly recognisable.
