What Happens When the Bring In is All In With the Ante?
That is the question that was being asked over at Table 403 when a player had his last chips in the middle from the 200 ante and had a 
out in front of him, which would have been the bring in. The players weren't quite sure and speculated as they waited for a floor to arrive. The consensus seemed to be that there would be no bring in and the next player to act would have the same options as if it had been brought in, though a few thought the next lowest card, which in this case was the 
, might be forced to bring it in.
When the floor finally arrived, he wasn't quite sure of the answer and went to verify with another floor. During this time the players came to the conclusion that there would be no bring in and that the making the next lowest card to bring it in would be unjust. "Why should he get punished?" one player asked.
Much to their surprise, the floor returned and said the rule is that the next lowest card would become the bring in. The players didn't seem to agree, but didn't put up much of a fuss. Unfortunately for the man who was all in with his ante, he ran into aces up and was eliminated from the tournament.
