Action-Packed First Hand

Rellie Sigua came in for a raise from middle position to 52,000 and Joseph Gray was the lone caller out of the small blind. The flop came out {k-Clubs}{8-Spades}{10-Spades} and Gray led out for 52,000. Sigua thought for about 15 seconds before sliding in a raise to 130,000. Here is where things got interesting and a little confusing.

Gray thought for about two minutes, stacking up a variety of chips before ultimately assembling an amount that appeared to be a call and putting it in. However, he didn't take back his original bet, meaning that he had put 182,000 in total, which was more then a call but less then a min-raise. The dealer told Gray that he needed 26,000 more to raise and Gray, looking rather confused, started to count out 60,000 in chips. Once it was confirmed he could only add 26,000 more to make it a min-raise, he put it in the middle.

Whether he meant to actually raise or not we don't know, but either way it worked, as Sigua folded his hand after just a few seconds.
