A very interesting ethics situation and a Bellagio Floor ruling

Wonder how many here would do what Player 1 did (change his bet to $2000 when he intended to bet only $400).

I agree that the ruling should be he is required to only call $400.

However If I was player 1 I would have no problem calling out $2000 if and only if I thought my opponent was a douchebag angleshooter who deserved it, and in this case it appears that he was. If the floor ruled correctly that I only get $400, then I wouldn't complain, but if I get the $2000 then no problem either.... eye for an eye.

If it was someone that I had no reason to believe was a scumbag (98% of the time) then I'd just finish the $400.
