Who offered to buy James back into the game at Casino Royale?

Felix Leiter. Felix Leiter was sitting two places to the right of Bond in the poker game, and once Bond had lost his money, Felix offered to buy him back in. This was because Felix was losing chips and knew that Bond was better than him and could beat Le Chiffre. Felix needed to beat Le Chiffre, in order to get the CIA to bring him in with charges of financing terrorism, so he bought Bond back in so that they could both accomplish what they came there to do.
