Re: U Make the Call: “What Was That?”
[ QUOTE ]
So, if Seat 6 had said "reraise" and put in $200, he could take it back if he acts before you muck?

Not a good analogy. In OP's case, the guy who called evidently didn't understand the size of the bet. This brings in the clause about NL players who clearly don't understand the size of the action before them not being bound. In your case, no such clause applies. This isn't "I said call but changed by mind after I saw the action behind me", it's (probably) "I thought I was calling $20, not $35". Different aminal.
I think by a fairly strict interpretation of the rules, since there was some action behind the guy who tossed in chips, he's got no leg to stand on if the floor rules against him. If OP or the next player had called before the guy had gotten his chips back, there'd be no question that his chips were staying in. But there is wiggle room here in this specific example and letting the floor do what feels right isn't setting some new angles-are-accepted precedent.
