"Fake raise?"
Xuan Liu got mixed up in a pot with a lot of raises and there was some confusion over what constituted a raise.
She opened to 250 from the hijack before Paul Michaelis on the button three-bet to 600. Josh Prager was in the big blind and called before Lui put it a four-bet (I think to 1,800). Michaelis called but Prager was scared off.
The flop came down 
and Lui led for 1,300 and was raised to 3,125. Her response was to three-bet to 5,100. Michaelis wasn't to be muscled off the hand and put in a four-bet to 5,1000. Lui through in two 5k chips and the German made a quick call thinking it was a raise. Lui insisted it was a call and changed the 5k chip for a 100 value chip. A floor-man was in attendance and said it was a call as the two chips she through in were of the same value and one of them alone was not enough to call the last raise.
Michaelis asked Lui, "Fake raise?"
The turn came 
and Lui quickly check-folded to a 4,625 bet.
Michaelis said to Lui, "That was a good way of getting a free card as you were never going to call another raise."
