A Lesson in the Rules of Poker
We decided to start things off by observing the action on table three. First out of the blocks was Markus Lehmann, the German winning the first two hands in tussles against Jani Sointula and Sami Kelopuro. Then Oscar Lima won his first hand and this is how it went down.
Ron Paltto made a 6,000 raise from under the gun and the action folded around to Katri Kasper on the button and she silently dropped two yellow chips in front of her. Next to act was Jani Sointula in the small blind and he questioned whether Kaspers action was a call or a raise? It was quite obvious it was a call but because she had put multiple chips across the line and the amount was higher than a min-raise the floor declared it a raise. Kasper to her credit just kept quiet. Anyway, Sointula then folded and Oscar Lima four-bet from the big blind when he made it 26,500. Paltto moved out of the way and Kasper stared at her 60k stack and her hand several times before folding. Lima turned over the before dragging in the pot.
