That is a string raise. If he announces the amount of the raise, he can go back as much as he wants. If he does not announce the amount, he must put all the chips out in one motion.

It's clear that the actions you saw were a string raise. An angle shooter could just keep sliding stacks out until he sees a reaction he likes and then take action based on that reaction. That's what the string raise/bet rule is meant to stop.

The floor ruling was correct, in the end - he was allowed the minumum raise.

Big Edit: I read Randy's post. I stand corrected. It seems lame and ripe for angle shooting. Can anyone explain why it wouldn't be?
