The following exceptions to APPT Tournament Rules will apply in Macau:

Action of Turn: Two distinct differences to APPT rule.

1. If a players bets out of turn and the intervening player checks, then the out of turn player is forced to check. Likewise, if a player raises an initial bet out of turn and the intervening player only calls the initial bet, then the out of turn player is also forced to call.
2. If a player bets out of turn and the intervening player bets a higher amount, then the out of turn player has all options as usual to call, reraise or fold, however, if he chooses to fold he forfeits his initial bet to the pot.
