A Questionable Decision

[user38334]

The blinds are 100/200. Erik Seidel limps in from early position and it is folded around to the small blind, who goes all in for a total of 300.

James Van Alstyne calls from the big blind and Seidel wants to raise. Van Alstyne says he can't raise, as he has already acted on his hand and the raise he is facing is less than the full amount required to reopen the betting. The floor is called over and rules that the seven-time bracelet winner IS allowed to raise.

He makes it 1200 and Van Alstyne folds.

Seidel has {A-Spades}

SB shows

The board reads {J-Clubs}

and Seidel wins the pot with a Broadway straight.
