Ruling From the Devilfish
Hellmuth, not one to sit out of a debate, called across the room:
"Devilfish! Can we ask you a question?"
"Yeah," said Ulliott, sauntering over to the table. Hellmuth explained the mistake, the ruling, and Zolotow's odd desire for further inquiry about the general UK rule regarding this situation. He said nothing different to the floorman.
"Can we get a high ranking floorman?" Zolotow politely requested again.
"I asked the Devilfish!" remonstrated Hellmuth.
"Devilfish is not a floorman," pointed out Zolotow.
At this point their collective attention wandered back to the ��10,000 tournament they have in hand, however.
