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.
