Raises Gone Wrong
Todd Bales slid in a single 1,000 denomination chip from middle position, signifying a call. He pleaded to the dealer, saying that he announced a raise, but the decision was unchanged, allowing cutoff Jeffrey Muncy, button Angela Defoe, and small blind Jerry Lim all to come along. Big blind Jordan Siegel checked his option.
The flop 3♦A♠4♥ brought in checks from all players, leading the dealer to put out the K♠ turn. Here, Siegel opted to lead out for 1,000, and only Bales made the call. He bet out again for 4,000 on the J♦ river, and Bales called again, showing K♦J♥ for a backdoor two pair. However, Siegel's flopped straight with 5♣2♣ took home the pot. "Wouldn't have called that for a thousand," sighed Bales. "Probably not," replied Siegel
