Maybe that's some kind of insult in Iran.
Just been explained, Vafaei took offence at Williams slapping his own leg, thinking it was celebrating the win... When Mark said it was him being annoyed he missed a pink and thought Vafaei would come back to the table, but Vafaei conceded and walked out.I'm sure he's done that before and with Olivier as well, at the Crucible. Don't remember him getting told off on that occasion. Maybe it's a new rule.
Apparently, Hossain stormed off because Mark slapped his leg - his own leg, not Hossain's.
Afaik, First time he done it the white had been pocketed so it was off the table in terms of gameplay. Second time he done it the white was still on the table, but had yet to be replaced to the position it was in originally.
Sounds absolutely ridiculous.No. No. No.

The World Snooker Tour announces its first TV event in Saudi Arabia, where there will be an extra 20-point ball for players who complete a 147.www.bbc.co.uk
have a 1,000,147 break to be the bestest evahhhhh!
Textbook Saudi that, totally fail to understand the sport in question but got to do something to make it bigger and better.
Why make it 20 points? Games over could make it 1,000,000 if they wanted
The Saudis are rolling in money. When a player gets a 147, they should give them £147,000 and then if they go on to pot a golden ball (which is on the table from the beginning, perhaps in between blue and pink) they get £1,000,000 or something.
