Can player A reraise?

Dear webmaster, I am Sasan from Iran.

My question is about pre-flop reraising. Let's say, there is a table in which blinds are 20 and 40$. Player A is the first one to act and has 1000$ and raises to 200. Player B, who has 1400$, calls. Player C has 280$ and goes all in. The others fold. So it is player A's turn to call 80$.

My question is that can he reraise? Does the fact that player C went all in forbid player A from reraising?

Thanks in advance.

Best wishes,

Sasan

Hi Sasan,

In the situation you described, the player A can definitely reraise. Since player C is already all in, players A and B will form a side pot and continue playing & betting as usual. In the final showdown, the winner of side pot is decided between player A and B (if B decides to call or raise A-s bet) and the winner of the main pot will be decided between A, B and C.

I hope that helps.

Regards,

Marcus
