The raising rule is creating some confusion, and this hand was a prime example. Terrence Chan raised to 1,200 pre-flop and Marcello Bo put in two 1,000 chips to make the call. This was deemed a raise and Bo put in the remaining 400. Chan saw this as an opportunity and went all-in putting Bo to a decision for all his chips. He made the call and turned over {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{J-Hearts}

to Chan's delight after he showed {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

. The flop was {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

and Bo was in trouble, but a {3-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

on the turn and {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

on the river gave Bo a lifeline with a split pot.
