This is not a string raise. The player verbally indicated raise so he can go back to his stack to count out the appropriate amount of checks. If he had said nothing, it would have been a string raise and he could have only called

Youre wrong. Its not that black and white. If the player says raise before he brings chips out, its very clear raise. But in this case he said raise after he had brought chips out. Verbal action is binding, but it cant change the action that has happend before. I say string-raise.
