Higgins - Swail?

Did someone watche the Higgins-Swail Match ? In one frame Joe was trying to pot the yellow. I don't know what happened, but after the shot he looked very angry and pointed his cue at the audience. The camera then showed some people there. I had the impression that there was a bigger disturbance in the crowd.

Isn't this always the problem in China? I can't tell for this tournament, as I watch without sound, but in the past the crowds were much worse than elsewhere.

A camera flash! Can you believe such a stupid thing!!
