It will play out this way with an inexperienced floorman. In the context it is clear that it was a question (see the title). Anytime someone can say "he meant to do x, but has to do Y" something has gone horribly wrong; if everyone at the table can tell a player meant to do X not only can he do X, he must do X.

Agreed. The major problem in this scenario is of course when a players intonation makes people act behind him or inducing a reaction in the original better or all-in guy. The floor has a much tougher decision in these cases.

"All-in"
"all-in?"
Dealer indicates a second all-in was made.
First player turns over hand.

Now we gots a problem!

Edit: Now that I think about it. Seems like there are way too many variables to have a lock-solid standard ruling for this scenario. Good luck floormen!
