Aussie Millions player goes into labor during tournament, her husband is allowed to finish the game for her. Is it fair?Moreover, her husband was allowed to continue playing with her stack, and he ended up winning almost $7,000, and his wife gave birth to a son.Such a case took place in 2016.Many players have pointed out a number of ways this rule can be abused. Would a tournament director allow a friend to continue playing rather than a spouse? What if that friend were Phil Ivey?What is your opinion on this situation?

I believe it is normal and human ♥️ even if her husband did not sit in her place, it would be unfair ♠️
