Nelson Gets a Little Steamed

It may be cool outside, but things are starting to heat up inside the SKYCITY Queenstown Casino, especially on the table of Lee Nelson.
Our ears pricked when we overheard Nelson get into a bit of an altercation with the floor staff, so we wandered over to see what was up.
It took a few explanations from Nelson, and a second floor person to be called, before we got our head around what had led to this point. Apparently Seang-hai Ching had tossed out a single 500 chip from early position. His intention was to raise to 375, but with a late position player already calling 150, the action was on Nelson in the big blind who announced raise. It was at this point that this got a little tense, and a tad confusing. Nelson had announced raise, but wanted his option back once he learned that Ching's bet was to be ruled as just a call.
��It changes the whole situation if his bet is just a call and not a raise,�� exclaimed Nelson.
However the action stood and Nelson was forced to raise. He made it 800 and Ching called as the third player got out of the way. Both players quickly checked the 
board to the river where Nelson decided to take a stab at it with a bet of 825. Ching thought for a few moments and made the call.
Nelson opened 
for not a whole lot, as Ching's 
were good to take down the pot and end the drama.
