In the video you posted, the same angle was done previously by the same person, but simply not caught. So should mercy have been applied?
There's a time for everything under heaven, but as far as I understand it the current command is "if your brother wrongs you 7 times per day and comes to you in repentance, forgive him 7 times." Jesus allowed himself to be wronged all the way to the point of physical death on a cross. Being wronged financially should seem very trivial compared to that.
The apostle Paul rebuked the Corinthian church for this very reason;
"The very fact that you have lawsuits among you means you have been completely defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated?" 1 Corinthians 6:7
All of that being said, in the context of angle shooting, if I were at the table as a third party or in the position of floor person I would definitely advocate for the guy to pay to be fair to all parties. Then it's up to individual if he wants to be merciful and give the guy the 10k back in the parking lot or whatever. But never at the table, that's just horrible for the game.
Also, one of the scariest warnings in all of scripture has to do with this very issue;
