Mistake Costs Martin

John Martin recently joined Table 5 after a table break to collapse to seven tables. Sitting in the hijack position, he declared a raise to 300,000 and then put 150,000 chips n front of his hand.

The table was confused. Several asked Martin what those chips were. Martin replied it was a raise to 150,000, but everyone (including the dealer) had heard his verbal declaration of a raise to 300,000. He was forced to put 300,000 chips out.

Action folded to the action-prone Hieu Luu on the button. He reraised to 900,000, folding all other players in the hand -- including Martin.
