We've had our first application of the "bet out of turn" rule today.

Over at Dennis Huntly's table, the flop was {5-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {J-Clubs}. Three players were in the hand, with Huntly acting first. He checked. The second player was yet to act when the third player bet 1,500, not seeing that the second player had cards because his cards were obscured behind his chip stack.

Huntly insisted that a floor be summoned to the table so that a correct ruling could be made. The floor ruled that, according to a Grand Lisboa house rule, if the second player checked then the third player would be forced to check also. The second player did check, and so the third player was forced to reclaim his chips and proceed to the next street.

The hand played out inconsequentially from there, with the third player eventually taking down the pot.
