Action Halted
The aforementioned ruling regarding Roger Hairabedian being moved to the opposite end of the table has now halted the action in this heads-up match. Brandon Cantu demanded to once again see Jack Effel regarding his decision on allowing Hairabedian to move to the other side of the table.
"It changes everything," lamented Cantu to Effel. "All [Hairabedian]'s doing is making it about himself."
Cantu brought up the point that he had no say in the matter and that he came back from break to a table setup that looked completely different.
Effel, however, remained confident in his ruling.
"Look, you guys are playing for a lot of money here," said Effel.
"I KNOW we are," interjected Cantu, "which is why it's ridiculous."
"I'm going to let you sit here and rant, but I'm not going to change my decision. I suggest you take a deep breath and not let something like this get to you."
Effel's word was final and he left and told the dealer to resume play. Cantu put his headphones back on and sat steaming from the decision.
