Player A immediately states they announced ($44), and they were throwing 4 more red chips in as Player B said call. The players on the right and left of A both confirm $44 was announced.
The dealer corrects the action and says the bet is $44.
Is B allowed to reconsider their action based on the dealer stating the amount of the bet incorrectly? Are all options available to B (fold, call, raise)?
Since the call stemmed from a misunderstanding of the action, and that misunderstanding came from dealer error, not player error, B should have all options available to him as though he had never called at all.
That said, ime the ruling will be one of the following in about equal porportioin
1. The above.
2. B must call the 44
3. B can either call the additional 20 or fold, surrendering the 24 he has already put in.
