Tourney Ruling

[digading 0]

This happened today in a tourney I was in at the borgata and had the whole table talking. Was curious what ya'll think the proper ruling is. Seat 3 is the big blind . It folds to seat 8 who announces a raise to 4500 and throws a 5k chip out. Folds to the big blind who asks the dealer what the raise is to. The dealer mistakenly tells him 3500. He says call and throws 3500 out. Seat 8 informs him he bet 4500 . Seat 3 says If he knew the bet was 4500 he wouldn't have called. They call the floor over who says its dealer error and they allow seat 3 to rescind his call, take his 3500 back and fold. The guy in seat 8 goes crazy insisting the 3500 should have been left in the pot. Thoughts?

Seems 100% correct to me. Dealer was Angle Shooting

Seems pretty standard. Correct ruling was made.

Ruling was fine. Seat 8 has no case here. If the dealer had told the BB 4500, and he had put in 3500 and then claimed he heard it wrong, then there's a case for the 3500 being left, but not in this case.

Seat 3 says If he knew the bet was 4500 he wouldn't have called. They call the floor over who says its dealer error and they allow seat 3 to rescind his call, take his 3500 back and fold. The guy in seat 8 goes crazy insisting the 3500 should have been left in the pot.

Those values are fairly close, so the raiser has some case in making the call stand, but there's no way the 3500 should stay after they give seat 3 the option to fold. If his 3500 is dead money, and he's deciding weather or not to call an additional 1000, he will add the 1000. The raiser is arguing for an unreasonable outcome.
