I see nothing wrong at what Kevin did. Shane wasn't down on the shot or something and he did it from a fair distance. Shane overreacted, probably from the pressure.

8am,,,,,,,,,,,
looks like 8am est.
not sure which Al Kass channel, though. I think they have channels 1-6, will need to figure that out.
Nonsense. You don't get out of your chair and walk to the table to look at your opponent's position when your opponent is at the table.
Rubbish. He never walked to the table.
This is a rule written by you, obviously.
No that is respect for the game and your opponent.
By the looks of it you are the only one on the other side.

i also dont saw it that bad, cheng just stood up and lurked on the table while shane wasnt shooting........ happens often....... found the posing of shane bit too much tho, but who knows what has happened before
SVB is a hell of a player. But he got very lucky and celebrate it disrespectfully to his opponent. Usually we say sorry if we get an ultra lucky roll. That's why Kevin stood up. They were both stressed and overreacted in this case.

Check for yourself around 16 minute mark.

In most matches played, there is nothing inherently wrong with getting out of your chair to check a shot or position, as it is a check and balance to keep a player honest and in some cases see if there is potential for a foul, in which case the TD or an impartial party is called over to watch the hit / shot.
In a match with a referee, there is NO reason whatsoever for the player not at the table to get out of their chair. The referee is watching each of the shots, and will make the call regardless of whether or not the opposing player looked at it or not. In a tournament like this, getting out of your chair when it is not your turn at the table is poor sportsmanship.
/nuff said
Even is Shane celebrates his fortune that does not give opponent to right Shark him..
Some peoples cheer their rolls always and that is not sharking.. only poor behave.
was wrong of shane to celebrate on the roll, very out of character and very APA like of him. But it was worse for Cheng to do what he did. It doesn't matter that shane wasnt down on his shot, he seemed to have done it in order to get shane a bit riled up. the above comment is correct, technically, there is no rule against it, but it is unsportsmanlike. In local leagues, sometimes ppl have to take a look at an opponent's shot to make sure whether or not to ask for an unbiased set of eyes, and even then its still rare to see a person leaving his table area to look closer at a shot when his opponent is at the table. But in a tournament with a ref watching the whole time, it is unnecessarily to walk to the table when its not your turn and therefore Cheng knew what he was up to.
John Higgins obviously sharking Steve Davis.
completely different. it is normal in snooker culture to stand and watch the table when your opponent is at the table, but it is when you have played a safe on your opponent. Additionally, this player is behind his opponent, so the point is not to shark but to actually look at a shot. O'sullivan and many others have been called out by refs many times for standing when not his shot.
