Allen said in his interview he was going down on his shot and was probably the last person to realise after the protest and boos started on the other table. An incredible night for the wrong reasons and can't see what this will do to bring people to their cause.
It's gone largely unnoticed but the first person to come and help the referee was the cameraman of all people! You see him hang his headphones up and run over. So while the players did absolutely nothing, huge Kudos to whoever the cameraman was (and the ref)!
'And for those watching in black and white, the powder is orange' - sorry, had to say that!

Also have to give kudos to MC Rob Walker who was commentating with John Parrott who got involved with the clean up of table 1.

Having attended a few media events in the past where Rob Walker was in attendance (and having briefly met him) I can tell you hand on heart he is one of the most kind, likeable, knowledgable (and funny) people in sports commentary.
Pretty sure I've heard people mention he'll even stay behind after shifts to help the technical teams pack up kit/pack equipment down.
The above proving my point.
