In the fourth frame of White’s second round match against Luca Brecel at the Northern Ireland Open, which he lost 4-0, Williams wrongly called which ball The Whirlwind was going for.
Williams laughed at the situation which White wasn’t happy with, so he gesticulated at the official — seemingly waving a finger at the referee — and was given a warning for his actions.
