Johnny is correct. The dealer, trusting my count, did give the player the incorrect number.

There's a contradiction in your statement and Johnny's. He wrote that the dealer did count your chips and came up with the wrong amount too, although it seems pretty hard to believe that could happen on the same hand.

The dealer did not physically handle my chips to get a count, although I did arrange them out beyond the betting line. Had the dealer repeated my action, he likely would have caught my error.

Am I wrong in assuming that situations likes these are common in big field tourneys where players and dealers are doing 12+ hour shifts?

I bounced the OP around a little bit. The concensous is that the floor got it right at the time.

Is there an official poker rule book? Is this situation
covered? That's the problem. There's no standard book
for TDs to reference. Every TD rules as he sees fit.
