overcall
Bid over opponent
In bridge and other bidding card games, an overcall is a bid made after an opponent has opened the bidding: She overcalled with two hearts.
The term also applies in poker when a player calls a bet after another player has already called.
The word suggests competing against or topping someone else's declaration.
