Can the guy now check or is he committed to at least a min bet?
I believe that the player is bound to bet and that the bet had better be reasonably close to a pot sized bet. If you allow the player to now make a minimum bet instead of the $300 bet that would be a pot sized bet you set up an angle where the player gets to try to get an insta muck and if he doesn't get it gets to not risk the big bet.
The player should then be warned not to announce pot again and if he continues he should be removed form the poker room.
