Another free ball question

Postby AnarchyDave

During frame 7 of O'Sullivan vs Selby in the Masters QF, the referee called a free ball after this foul [youtube]https://youtu.be/ZBN7IZzalpw?t=1230[/youtube]. Can anybody explain why this is a free ball when both sides of the red to the right of the black can be seen?

The ball to the right of the black can't be hit on its extreme left side (as we look at it).
Granted, there is some space between the black ball and the left edge of the red, but not enough space!
