Rulings question

[Eihli]

The max buy-in where I play is $300 or half the largest stack. I just get busted by seat 8 and ask how much I can rebuy for. Seat 8 is sitll stacking up his chips so it's hard to say how much he has. The dealer says "He has about $1000". I like to get a little extra so I can put it in my pocket and keep stacked up so I'm not calling for $20 in chips every 5 minutes so I take out $600 and hand it to the runner and say "5 green".

Chip runner thinks I only gave him $500 and says "5 behind."

I say "That's $600, 5 green 1 red".

Chip runner says "6 behind."

The next hand is dealt and I get pocket jacks and raise, a few callers including seat 8. While the rest of the table is calling, the chip runner returns and puts $600 on the table. I count it out and pull $100 in green off thinking that's the max.

Flop is T94

I bet, get a few callers. Now seat 8 is finished stacking up his chips and it turns out he has a little over $1200.

Turn is a J and me and seat 8 get it all-in against each other.

Am I all-in for $600 total or $500?
