Default Re: Decision at WPT Gulf Coast Championship FT

I believe the TDA rule is "Verbal declarations in turn are binding. Verbal declarations out of turn MAY be binding."

Leaves a lot of wiggle room.

Did the other player actually say "reraise" or did he just say "raise"? If Edler put the call amount out first, he may have thought it was a call, having not heard Edler say "raise".

If he actually said "reraise," then he knew Edler was raising, and I agree that he should have to make at least the minimum reraise, up to and including all-in, after Edler puts in his amount.

If he just said "raise" and didn't realize Edler was raising, not calling, then his action should be taken back. TD could consider giving a penalty for influencing action -- Edler's raise amount.
