you are very well respected as one of, if not THE best in the biz, but imo, you are overthinking this. since bill edler hasnt announced a raise amount, player 3 cannot act yet. the fact that he tried to 3-bet is irrelevant because its not his turn. it gives bill edler an advantage because he knows player 3's intended action, but that happens sometimes, and you just have to live with it. i know you want to be fair, but just tell player 3 to wait his turn, and make bill edler raise at least the minimum.



p.s. i really don't like that you "won't divulge your decision" until bill makes his. this seems to give you a chance to affect the outcome of the tournament, which is just ridiculous. you are the boss, make your ruling, and keep the tourney moving along. thx.
