Seat 2 then states, "All in."
Seat 5 calls.
Seat 5 says, No. You said I had him covered. I don't have to put any more money in.
There could be some confusion over which pot bet
'It's got you covered' is referred to by the Dealer, yes.
But in order for Seat 5's story to wash he should've ignored Seat 2's 'extra' all-in statement and certainly wouldn't have needed to 'call' his own pot bet, which essentially is what he's doing if he thinks he's got enough out there already.
I usually like to give people plenty of leeway, but with the visual layout of the chips (3 blacks plus) by Seat 2 and Seat 5's 'call' of the Dealer's statement doesn't lend me to see things in his favor here.
We can do the proverbial 'What if Seat 5 had won both Boards' routine as well. Gotta assume that he would want all of Seat 2's chips when he 'calls' an all-in statement. GL
