Hello folks.....I have a rules question to ask.
My buddy, who I'll refer to as lil'chilito played in a live hold'em sit and go last night (charity event not in Nevada), something happened during play, all hell broke loose, he was pissed, and asked me about the rule which I'm unclear about, so I'm presenting to my fellow covers players.
Here's the situation: 10 player sit and go and 5 players have been knocked out. One player in particular has a hugh chip lead (this is the person who caused the whole episode). small blind - 400, big blind 800.....dealer deals out all cards to players, third person folds, chip leader states he's going all in (out of turn as he is on the button), lil'chilito in 4th position has pocket aces and raises to 2000, chip leader folds followed by SB and BB both folding. Now here is where the issue arises.......lil'chilito believes he gets ripped off because chip leader made a verbal commitment out of turn and should be all in. The floor person was called and said the rule was something like this - If lil'chilito did not raise to 2000 the chipleader on the button would of been forced to call the all-in. Because lil'chilito raised the chipleader by rule could fold. Is this correct? I've been trying to find this rule but am not having any luck. If this is indeed a rule the person on the button has an extreme edge over players (even more than I thought) because he could talk players off a hand like A8 because the player holding those cards knows he'll be put all-in.
I guess my main view on this is the dealer needs to have control of the table which obviously he did not.
Thanks 
Thanks for the clarification. At least you don't have to worry about that online.
