A Strange Ruling

[user75032]
[user75032]
We caught up with a hand in progress on Brasilia #32. Pete Hassett bet 600 and was called. A third player then raised all in to 1,150. Hassett wanted to reraise and was told that because the third player had not made a full bet, Hassett would be raising himself and therefore was limited to calling or folding. The table didn't seem to agree with the ruling (Phil Hellmuth was particularly vocal in questioning it) but a second floor was summoned who made the same ruling.

It didn't matter; after Hassett called the raise of the all-in player, the player in-between the two of them folded.
