Default Re: Ruling Re: Raise or Call

This is pre-flop action here. pre-flop over chip into the pot with no verbal declaration is just a call.
Same as if UTG or anyone else tossed in a 5,000 chip with no verbal announcement. It would be a call.

Thats fine, but can you address the issue of why or why not you think this is a single oversized chip, when in fact it looks like the player DELIBERATELY bet two chips (by acting to take back two chips but not the third)

Rather than an over chip situation, I think this is the rule that applies.

8. The same action may have a different meaning, depending on who does it, so the possible intent of an offender will be taken into consideration. Some factors here are the person’s amount of poker experience and past record.

It should be pretty clear from what the player does here if he meant to raise or call. Somethign has gone horribly wrong if a player's intent is clear and a floorman or dealer cites some rule and forces them to do somethign else.
