Boesch Intends to Call Flop, Forced to Min-Raise
Level 7
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Viktor Blom made it 3,000 from the cutoff and Oliver Boesch called from the small blind.
On the 2♦6♥2♠ flop, Boesch checked, Blom bet 3,200, and Boesch put in 5,200 chips as a call, to make it easier for the dealer to give chance. What Boesch didn't realize was that in live poker, putting in two chips or more will be considered a raise if the total amount is more than half of what the minimum-raise would be, which in this case would be 4,800. Since Boesch put 5,200 in, he was forced to min-raise to 6,400. The action was then back and Blom, who three-bet to 18,600, and Boesch quickly folded.
On the same table, Martin Kabrhel just bought back in.
