If you want him all in then go all in, dont ask for a rough count and then bet that rough amount and consider it to be correct. This is as bad as "I put you all in".
50k was the bet and it was raised, the player exposed their hand with action pending and deserved to be penalised after the hand (as I'm sure most people would agree with, as it is in the rules and people really do need to learn the hard way with this), however mucking the hand was a terrible ruling
The point I'm trying to make is, as a player, dont expose yourself to these types of situations and they wont arrise. If you want somebody all in, get an exact count. If its HU, just go allin yourself and remove any doubt
As poker players you all should know that a 1% chance of a monumental fuck up is eventually going to happen so remove the chances of it

I think the point of the thread is the horrific ruling by the floor. Yes the dude made a small mistake (which I am sure he will never make again), but the floor made a huge one.
I would be definitely be seeking compensation for this - surely some estimate of the value of what his chipstack would have been after the hand can be made?
