"I Was Trying to Raise the Turn"

Level 3

No Limit Hold'em

We happened upon Table 101 with around 1,400 in the pot and a flop of {5-Spades}{10-Hearts}{8-Spades}. Eric Crain was in the hijack and ended up check-calling a bet of 725 from the player in the cutoff. After the dealer burned and turned the {2-Diamonds}, Crain checked and the cutoff bet 1,375.

Crain then splashed out some chips in an attempt to raise, but it wasn't enough to constitute a legal one. Instead it was counted as a call and the {A-Clubs} was put out on the river. Crain checked for a third time and watched his opponent bet 2,350.

"I was trying to raise the turn," Crain explained before calling and tabling the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} for a pair of aces. His opponent seemed a bit disgusted before mucking his cards.
