Frank, as I said in my post, there's no way the L could see the right hand.

I agree Tony...L couldn't see it, but the C certainly could and he could have come in with that information or maybe had a double whistle...altho the way these guys have been going in the tourny, the whistle blows and the calling official is GONE immediately to the table, so C probably couldn't have done much anyway...

I saw the play while eating dinner with the family (talked her into going to a sports bar). At first glance, I thought he was calling a held ball. He got a lot of ball with the left hand, IMO. The right hand, completely straight-lined from the L, could have warranted an X. I thought the shooting foul was appropriate, though. I noticed Pearl had a long talk with him leading into the commercial break.
