THE CALL LOOKED VERY QUESTIONABLE TO ME TOO.
WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED WASN'T HALF AS MUCH FUN.mARCS BET WASN'T  THE FIRST RAISE AS ADVERTISED.iD ALREADY DONE THAT

Just a few points.

Tomas is a nice lad but the penalty he got was fully deserved.Marty did his best for the kid ,gave him both warnings and advice but the kid just couldn't help himself.A lot of TDs wouldn't have bothered.In the post match interview and in the hotel for the days between the semi and the final the kid had no complaints and as someone else has pointed out the penalty did him a world of good both in the semi and  in his subsequent appearance in the final.

As regards the allegation that others would have been treated differently I have to agree.If any of the pros had committed the first offence  for which Tomas received a warning (ie advising the German to call Hewston's all in raise) they would have quite rightly been penalised immediately.

The Matchroom guys did a great job of calming Tomas down during his penalty .It worked.

The pros might have emerged with more credit if instead of giving unnecessary advice  and shouting when the dealer was trying to explain what she had heard to the  td .Perhaps it might have been a little nicer if they had given the kid a little friendly advice.

I wasn't too impressed with the sudden injection of the  speed into the game when the Dane was serving his sentence.Perhaps penalties should be   imposed in terms of hands rather than time.
