Reanne Evans has avoided any official punishment for ignoring Mark Allen's fist bump before their British Open clash.
The former couple - who split 13 years ago - met in a tense first-round match at the Morningside Arena in Leicester on Monday.
Allen won the game - which was billed as the 'Battle of the Exes' - and later described it as an “awful” experience.
The awkward encounter was only exaggerated by Evans' decision to snub Allen's attempted fist bump before the opening frame.
The pair also refrained from any hand shakes afterwards.
While snooker players are expected to shake hands before any match, there is no strict obligation to do so.
Previously, players have been warned about conduct if there have been aggressive or angry exchanges, however given the relatively placid nature of Evans' refusal of Allen's peace offering, there will be no such action taken, reports the Irish Mirror.
Evans is a 12-time women's snooker world champion, and recently earned a two year professional tour card. Allen is a Masters champion and is currently ranked 10th in the world.
Evans was upset at her failure to convert a 2-1 lead in frames into a shock victory. She said: "No one wanted that match but you have to accept it, it’s sport and these things are going to happen.
"I am sick of losing these deciders. I couldn’t feel my arms or my legs by the end, with all the nerves and tension. I did settle a bit after the first frame and fancied the job."
Stephen Hendry remarked while commentating on the affair: "Both players have shown great character. It's been the most intense match I have probably ever witnessed."
Allen takes on Hossain Vafaei in the second round of the competition on Wednesday evening.
