Meldrum, clearly disappointed, graciously shook the hands of his table and exited the floor. Meanwhile a comment from the gallery caused Goonawardana to jump from his chair and exchange some heated words with a spectator. TD Danny McDonagh stepped in and reminded all spectators to remain behind the rail as Goonawardana sat down and began the task of stacking up his tournament-leading 360,000 chips.
