"That was a raise, right?" Pulusani asked the dealer.
Without being told to, Chiu traded one of his yellow T1,000 chips for a pink T5,000 chip, and the bet was once again 12,000. Pulusani raised the pot, making it 56,000, and Bleznick re-potted. The action folded back to Pulusani, who called all in for around 27,000 more.
