An expensive lesson maybe, but a valuable one.

At least the player wouldn"t make the mistake again

I had this exact situation in Gala Leeds recently. The culprit in this case was not forced to make up the difference but had to leave his incorrect call bet in.
Not saying it"s right but the ruling seemed to be based on the fact that people agreed it was a mistake and he wasn"t angle shooting.

I"ve seen this a number of times, and it seems fairest.
However, if they do this and they"re wearing and MP3 player, shades and a hoodie - then they should have to put in all their chips, their cards, stand up on their chair and shout "I"m an idiot" and be mocked.
BOINGBLITZ:
Happened to me a couple of years ago at Walsall. I was seated in seat 9 and was chatting to the guy in seat 10. I saw a guy in seat 4 call the BB bet but he was one of these people who announces raise, but actually puts the call in physically and then follows with the raise.
I only saw the call placed in and when I announced "Call" (with my 6-9 spades), I was made to match his full raise, leaving me seriously short-stacked. As it was, 2 spades flopped and I shoved and busted his aces !!
What annoys me is that on MANY occasions since, I have seen this happen and on EVERY occasion, they have been allowed to take the chips back.
I wish poker had standard rules........

Devils advocate here.
What if he said I call the thousand ? (just from another point if view for conversation). Would/should he be allowed to take it back?
